REALLY BIG BIRDS LOVE THE 40D !

OK sports fans, today we're gonna see what the 40D can really do.
Here is a full-size image from the 40D that I took a few hours ago.
It's a large (3888x2592) image so those of you with slower connections
might want to go get a tasty beverage while it loads.

I used the Forgotten 400 f/5.6L with the 1.4x Teleconverter.
1/500, f/8, using a monopod (tripods are for wimps).
I also had a 20D with a 70-200 f/2.8L hanging from my neck for
additional ballast.
BTW, this is not our friend, Spike, but is one of the birds over at
the dam that are used to having people around. This one was taken from
a distance of about 30 feet.

I'll look forward to seeing equivalent pics from the P&S crowd.
As if.

Wow!

WOW!! What a huge image! It loaded up quickly for me. This one
shows more of the exquisite quality and intricate detail than in all
your heron shots! An opthamologist could examine his eye from this
pic! Truly a phenomonal shot Bret. It's so heartwarming to see you
take the 40D to it's potential. Congrats!!

Pretty impressive.
I like the noise pattern in the sky too - it almost has a film-grain-like
quality to it.

Oh I'm pretty sure that dickhead who claims P&S are so much better will find
an image somewhere on flickr, post a link to the JPG, and claim that it was
taken with a P&S - although he won't say what P&S, and won't post a link to
his gallery so we can see the exif detail that flickr strips from the file,
and he won't post a link to his gallery because then we'd see that all the
photos he's posted over the last few weeks have been stolen from other
flickr pages.

Very Nice Bret.

You really should have posted this picture on your new web site.
It would have complemented all those P&S shots.

Hey Chon Kei, do you class this POS post as 'on-topic'?

Doug gets jealous when he sees a truly great shot as he has never seen
one come off his own camera.
