Just a terrific collection kdacharya. I particularly like birds in flight and of those in this set the Carunculated Caracara in flight is my favorite.

Wow what a great set. You brought a couple different sets of gear it looks like. Any thoughts on the 5DIV vs the 1DX? I would think that for perched birds, the 5DIV would offer more resolution and potential for cropping, but everybody always raves about the 1D AF. Of course all these images look great, so evidently they both work fine.

thanks so much Tim for viewing, commenting and your support. You are absolutely correct regarding the 5D4 and the 1DX.
I used 5d4 for the perched one and also for the low light ones. 1DX really showed its strength for the in flight birds, but suffered in low light.

Wow, a great trip with your son. He will remember that forever! Photography brings people together, and helps us create memories.

Amazing photos with vibrant colors. I love #15 and 16. They are all "framers".

thanks so much Blue, for viewing and commenting. Photography sure does do that.

Thanks for the comment and viewing. I had the 500 mm with 1.4x and it was sufficient for the most part. Only a couple times did I need more reach. However, the focus speed with the 1.4 is slower than that of the prime. So if you are concerned about the weight, carry a tx instead of the 600 mm. Just my 2 cents.
I also carried 100-400 on another body

Like very much the off center placement of the birds in so many of the pictures. The
Carunculated Caracara in flight though is a terrific image that I could easily see printed at life size or even larger.

I will be with Luis in August of next year and your images are very convincing that this is a great trip with an excellent guide. As trips go this is one of the least demanding in terms of time driving to get to locations and that is quite appealing.

When I asked Luis whether to take the Nikon 500mm PF lens...Show more →
