20D ALWAYS COMES OUT ON TOP !

How do you sneak up on a big bird?
Get above him. (They never expect that.)

I like it, but thought it could be "tilted" as:

Which cuts away a little too much neck in the cropping, unfortunately...

Priceless shot! LOL. I love it. I love how he is looking down at
you. I'm glad you weren't in his rear area. "Look out below"!!
"PLOP". LOL. And I know you don't use a UV filter.
Bret, you have definitely outgrown your fabulous 20D. I wish I could
master my photographic talents such as you.

You definitely have mastered your skills with the 20D and wildlife.
Good thing you weren't below him. Your lens might have had a special
delivery from the heron. And I know you don't use a UV filter.
Lovely shot!

BTW: I'm not giving you a jab because you don't use a UV filter. I'm
with you! Besides, with the L series lenses, why cover up what you
paid big bucks for.

People that use L glass with UV filters probably have their couches
covered in clear plastic.

I do have filters on my large front lenses (72mm) as scratch avoidance
but they are the high quality Minolta or B+W UV filters. On my 300
f/2.8 it is a 114mm piece of flat, neutral optical glass.

My 100 mm f/2.8 has never had a filter on it (other than for effects),
the front element is so deep (unless shooting macro) from the threads as
to be immune to all but the most determined attack.

Alan
