Nothing special, not even sharp. But as Bob put it we tend to celebrate when we see colourful birds. Here's my eye candy. Shot inside a car. Salt Spring Island, BC 200mm, 1/200 sec, F4.0, ISO400 CROPPED

Nice shot, Jun! I think 200mm too short, ever tried stalking? Thanks Ed, Yea you are right the 200mm is too short. Don't rub it in ;D But I hear Canon rebates are coming so I'm thinking of biting the bullet and get me a descent glass. I was at a goat and sheep farm. I had only one lens at the time excluding my 1.4TC. For the farm shots, the TC was just too long so I decided to leave it in the car. And that's when Murphy's law strikes. I was too far away from my car to get the TC. Stalking was out of the question because I was with two other people. Duly noted tho. Cheers!

Thanks Edu ;D Paolo, I have the 70-200mm IS F4L. and a 1.4X TC but as I've mentioned. I did not have it mounted at the time. Which is probably the exact reach that I need.

Oh, good for you to capture this beautiful bird, Jun. I almost bought the 70-200mm IS F4L so I can shoot butterflies, concerts and birds (with TC) for P45K but the camera shop told me to wait for his coming stock on a lower rate. When it came, he was asking for P52K. I got the 30mm F4 L IS of Bong instead (soooo happy that he let go) and just got myself a 17-700mm 2.8-3.6 Sigma all around lens. Well, Jun, maybe the glass that Tonji or was it Sylvia's is the best for you. Watch their posts. And it is very, very important to get a good copy. Learned that from the Mastah. Lyd

Lyd You are right on the money TeLyds, I've been lurking and following Tonji. He did an excellent writeup on that glass of his. ;D WoW! a 17-700mm 2.8-3.6 Sigma does that come with a sherpa?

Hey Jun, it's a keeper. Even though I've shot several ones later, that still IS the photo-lifer.
