Thanks...I hope that they survive the aphid attacks that have wiped-out most of my 60-85 footers, which are now a problem-in-wait; tall, standing deadwood that will burn quickly. The lightning storms around here last summer were close to a full-blown Star Ship Enterprize attack. I will drop some, but others will need to be done by pro's...we have some great loggers & riggers that know how work clean, safe, and smart.
That shows excellent progress, Adrian.....you nailed the eye at f/2, and exposure is great too.
I hope you are doing manual exposure......your shot I would have done at f/2 (if there is background to blur, if not, I'd stop the lens down quite a bit), ISO 50, 1/1600 sec to 1/2000 sec.

Thanks Peter. I've went on manual after, because tracking the bird against either on white sky or on dark backgrounds messed up my exposure.
I try to stay away from ISO 50 (seems to have lower DR).
I had the F2 constant because the bird's flight was erratic and one second I had a background which needed to be blurred, the next second i had the sky in the background, so I shot at F2 just to be sure.
some from a fashion week commission a couple weeks ago that I'm just now posting on my blog as content-fill.. though i think "Canon struts in 2012" would've been a more apt title for my post :P
