Just got lucky again the other day. Found him in a small river looking for dinner. Unfortunately, he did not catch any fish during the time I was there. This is the first time I've got this bird really up close. Really close such that I have to move back amidst bushes and trees as he is filling up the full frame of the 7D and 400mm lens:D. f7.1, 1/1000s, ISO800, Manual f7.1, 1/800s, ISO800, Manual f7.1, 1/1000s, ISO800, Manual f7.1, 1/500s, ISO800, Manual

Very nice shots of that majestic bird, Conrad. I guess if it had a fish on it's bill, the photo would be even more dramatic. :-)

Very nice shots, Conrad!... Have you try enlarging the picture so you can read the ring band in one of its feet? Try finding out where it came from and where it travelled by the information on the band and the banding group/.

For almost 20 minutes that he was fishing for food, I was really hoping he can get one. I'm all set and prepared for that moment to happen but sad to say it didn't . Might go back on other days as I've heard from the residents that he always likes that same spot. Cheers

White as snow and no glare. Well done Conrad & Mabuhay. Thanks Ely. With this type of subject and lighting condition, this is where our basic knowledge of photography kicks in, spot metering and manual exposure. Cheers

I tried zooming in the original file but the banding is still not readable enough to get some useful info. Cheers
