Glad to see that Jesus is still with us. Scott That is a great shot for a long lens at1/30 sec at f:8. Using your monopod, Spike must have helped a tiny bit by staying still for just a moment. Good ole Spike-----so nice to see him! He deserves some kind of reward for having to live with that damn nail. Excellent Bret. Helen |

BTW, I was forced to use a tripod for that shot. And since the 20D doesn't focus at f/8, I used the Fabulous EOS-1V to attain the correct focus and then just switched bodies. |

And why do you think the 20D doesn't focus at f/8? Are you sure that it is not just your particular unit ... or the lens? -- Thomas T.

As you no doubt realized after the sleep wore off, the 20D will only autofocus if the lens is capable of f/5.6 or less. Using the 400 f/5.6L with the 1.4x gives a maximum aperture of f/8, good enough for the Fabulous EOS-1V's focusing system, but not quite good enough for the 20D. I guess that's one reason the EOS-1V is so Fabulous! |

Spike / Jesus Update
http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/65953942 http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/65953988 As a followup, a TWRA (Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency) truck pulled up in front of our offices about an hour ago. After the guys went across the street for barbeque, I asked them into my office and showed them some pics of Spike. They agreed that trying to capture the bird would only traumatize it and they agreed with just leaving it alone and letting nature take it's course. |

I know it pains us to see Spike with that nail in him, but I have to agree with the TWRA people. It would only traumatize him and create further problems. But thanks so much Bret for keeping us up to date on Spike. He's a real survivor. Helen |
