Many thanks. You should definitely scroll through - there's much better than my stuff here.

One bucolic scene and three images with not-too-subtle megaton sun bursts coming through the canopy. All with the 5d Mark III.

Psych, that is good .......misery loves company, and I haven't seen any KFC today either although I was in a place that they frequent on occasion.

Here's some Wood pijun hydroplaning....I was too slow on the draw, and noticed him only when it was too late for in-flight shots.

1DX + 300 f/2.8 IS MkI.

He is beautiful

Thank you kindly, Kathy .......1DX still has some little irritating features for me, but overall it does work well, particularly the AF system and high ISO handling, probably very much like your 5DMkIII.

Here is one simple duckshot with fallish coloured background. In this case the perspective is very "level" with the duck because the camera/lens was lowered almost to the water level. That low perspective is a dominant strategy by "birders" to achieve the coveted N&W forum "look".

7D + 85L @ f/1.2........."blind" framing as well as auto AF pt.selection used.
60D (articulated display) would help with shots of this type.

Drat!!!!!! I missed getting to see it Peter. Just saw your post, then the post below raving about it. Beautiful duck shots above though.

Really nice. Where those taken with ext tubes or was that just the 50 1.4 bare?

Thank you, Kathy........here is a duckshot for you from the last fall, which I like better.
Monopod mounted 1DMkIIN + 400 f/2.8 IS MkI.

Thanks Peter, great shot, stunning colors.

Glad you like it, Kathy, thank you.

The only autumn contents here would be that the bird seems to be migrating south and it is trying to hitch a ride.

1DX + 28-80L

This is autumn to me:

Beautiful countryside, Harry, and I pass that scene hereabouts (on a smaller landscape) in the fall, too; but when I spotted a neighbor baling & hauling hay "The Old Way", I had to smile and make a photo...I spent so many afternoons throwing bales up on the wagon, feeling underpaid and overworked...these teenagers looked like they were having a good time, too .

@ PetKal...A Canadian bird of prey after it's dinner

You've got good imagination, Jefferson.

Oh man that's a lot of bales in Harry's photo. Only helped once when I was a young lad but it was a lot of work to me. I don't think true farmers see it as work.
