Does anyone know a better technique to get rid of that annoying bowing of the power lines in that pano above? I thought taking multiple shots at close intervals would take care of that but obviously it doesnt. Thanks in advance.

no idea but it is still a great shot

Conrad, why not shoot some cereal boxes and some such. See which of your lenses is the sharpest one. Check them for focus calibration, etc.
My 24-105mm is one of my sharpest, especially stopped down to f8. My problem is the power lines in the image above, they are experiencing some super duper distortion. I intentionally didn't use my 16-35 because I knew that lens would have even more distortion. Haha! BTW, nice cereal box shot.
See, this Pelican is one of your best BIF's so far.
You could have even cropped less for more breathing room around the bird. Well done, Conrad.
Here are two duck shots I got the other day with 180mm L macro.
Only 180mm and yet fully capable of producing pleasing results in some situations....obviously not all.

I love the extension in #1! Great photos Peter!
That pelican is NOTHING! Hehe.... I have a couple more I'm processing right now. I'll put them up in an hour or so!

This really is a great thread. If you'll allow a little latitude I have a few shots to share of newborn goslings as they get ready to be BIF. Close enough?
Back in April a goose set up her nest in a planter next to a conference room at my office. These are some photos of her offspring. In the first two images you'll see one of them just exiting the egg. Then a couple as they fluff out and finally one as they prepare to jump out of the planter and follow mom off the edge of the building. I was alas not able to stick around for that part. Still this may be of interest to a few. Not as sharp as they could be because I was shooting through double paned windows.
Hey Phil great gosling photos! I've never seen a hatching before. And this thread allows just about any kind of latitude you need! We're just having some fun posting whatever could be interesting, inspirational or helpful!

Hi Conrad and Petkal,
Glad you and Petkal liked them - I was using a 5d II and 70-200 plus 1.4x and to get any depth of focus had to go to ISO 3200 and f8 because of the tint on the office windows. The latest gear allows us to do things that are amazing.
Wow, that's wild ! The boat works like magic on your camera.
You are really getting quite intimate with the pelicans. Especially the last BIF shot rocks. The first shot is amazingly colourful.....totally unique.

Thanks Noelle. Ok it's 4AM here... off to bed. Going to go fishing in 5 hours! Maybe I'll bring my camera. Hehe.... (like I wouldn't)
4AM? I'm SLEEPING! You got some great shots with your boat, Conrad! I've been hanging out at the N+W board getting inspired by Noelle's inspirations!
thanks for the kind words!
