Not many North American birds are as beautiful as the Prothonotary Warbler. This guy was singing loudly on occasion. Luckily he let me approach closely for some photos.
Super windy yesterday, not much happening. So I played with stacked extenders. I used the 600mm at 1680mm. The mallard I believe is the longest reach with the slowest shutter speed I have done. It was 1/60th with it resting on my knee using the Goodman loupe.
I stacked the TCs on my 600III to take some photos of this Solitary Sandpiper. I applied the Topaz DeNoise program for this. I'm quite happy with the results for ISO 8000. I think the bill looks a bit overdone from that standpoint, but I'm very happy with the results otherwise. This image is a little over 9.5 megapixels (cropped down from 20).
Kamera Canon EOS-1D X Mark III · Brennweite 840 mm · Messmethode Multi-segment · ISO Äquivalent 500 · Belichtungszeit 1/1000s · Blende f/5,6 · Belichtungskorrektur 0 EV · Belichtungsprogramm Aperture priority · Weissabgleich Auto white balance · Blitz No · Auflösung 1800 x 1200
I've been out shooting a lot lately. Still loving the camera. I do wish that it was 28 or 30 megapixels (or 100 or more with an option for a low res high speed mode). Tracking with my 600 on small fast birds (swallows) is not as good as my A9 with 200-600, but I'm also not sure how much of that is due to using a zoom lens on the Sony and a giant 600/4 on the Canon. This is mainly an issue on complicated backgrounds.
I have tons of photos to share in the near future--probably will spend more time processing once spring migration is over.
Here are a few photos of a Brewster's Warbler which has been hanging around for the past several days. This is one of two forms of hybrids between Golden-winged and Blue-winged Warblers, the other being the Lawrence's Warbler.
Great shots of the brewsters. I would always check them in the hope that one day I might see a Lawrence's and one day I found a lawrence's. It was before I had my Canon A1 but was lucky that someone else was with me to verify identification.

Rob and Amy: Great video! In what mode did you shoot that in? 5.5K Raw? 4K?...etc.?
Also, what software did you use in post...Adobe Premier...Final Cut Pro...etc?
One last question: Have you dabbled in extracting usable stills from either the 5.5K or 4K video?
Thanks in advance for your responses!
Thanks. I used the 600mm + 2x in 4k crop mode. I used Premier for this (my preferred program). I did a turkey video in 5.5k at 30 fps raw which I had to use Final Cut Pro.
I have done a lot with screen grabs, more so with the 1dx Mark II and a couple with this version. In 4k you can do it very easy right with the camera. In 5.5k you will need to exact in the software which is not hard just more time than in camera.
Here is a 4k screen grab with this camera with my sizing and processing done.
