Thanks! I just noticed that I didn't edit out the vignetting in one of those beach shots! Ooops! Damn 3-stop ND filter+polarizer combo = SUPER vignetting!

Bummer Wing!

The 5D II fps is enough but for birding crop cameras still rule.



I agree! That is why I just picked up a used 1D MKII and boy is it fast!!

That's good to hear. At least someone is busy this year. We are scrambling for work at the office. I sometimes take TWO days a week off with no pay. Sucks. Its slowing down my 800mm savings budget!!!

Ok guys (and gal) I'm off to Santa Cruz again. I heard there's some raptors near Scott's Valley I will try to get. And I'm going to take my son to get some surfing lessons! Hehe... See you all tomorrow!

Thanks Noelle! It should be a funny sight, a 22 year old and a 39 year old (yes I had him when I was very young) trying to learn how to surf! Hahahaha!!!

Good work, Maverick. The 100 f/2.8 macro makes a decent BIF lens too. I gotta use it more.

Conrad, the bird shots are getting better by the day. The exposure is spot on in both images. The framing on the pijun is 100%, the pelican is 80%.

I should have left more room in front of the pelican huh?

Haha! Ya it was fun shooting those. 6fps is NOT fast enough! Neither is the 9AF points on my damn 50D Hehe... I need to upgrade to the 1DIIN now! Anyway, where are those pictures you said you were going to put up buddy?
