I would like to thank Tonjie & Tina for giving me the general area of the bird. I would also like to thank Mr Timothy H. Fisher for pointing out where it was that day. It was nice to finally meet Mark, Bert and Toto.

Very nice eye contact and detail, Pao!
I'd try to crop a bit off the right side to strengthen the comp, possibly ending up with a 3:4 or 4:5 aspect ratio.

Thank you Bob, Edu and Romy. Edu, amongst the bodies I have used extensively the 7D has to be my favorite. Sure it doesn't ISO to 12,800 but the range it does offer is clean, off bat. And the best part is all AF points are cross-type even on a f/5.6. Romy, will implement. Thank you for the critique. Camera: Canon EOS 7D Exposure: 0.004 sec (1/250) Aperture: f/6.3 Focal Length: 800 mm ISO Speed: 100 Exposure Bias: +1 EV Support: Tripod + Gimbal Crop: None, framed as is

Bookmarking. I am wondering why people are calling this a Taiga Bean Goose?

The 7D can do 12,800. It's in one of the custom function (C.Fn) options to expand ISO. It will register as H on the LCD. Hope that helps! -Don Thank you Bob, Edu and Romy.

H is a way of increasing more light into an image via in-body post processing using the DIGIC processor instead of increasing more gain in the CMOS sensor. Wildlife photographers rarely if ever use H due to the amount of noise we encounter. Some wildlife photographers would even use Speedlites to maintain low ISO like 100. Even with people photography H is rarely used and people photography is more tolerant with image noise. H becomes useful when it means a photo of Angelina Jolie kissing a Taiga Bean Goose. An image like that would sell for millions regardless of image quality. For the above mentioned reasons are why Canon labeled it as "H", made it a custom function and not just another ISO number. This is their way of informing the photog that they cannot guarantee commercial-level image quality at this point. "H" is equivalent to 12,800 but it isn't really ISO 12,800. For ISO 12,800 you will need to go with a Canon 1D Mark IV or a Nikon D3s The 7D can do 12,800. It's in one of the custom function (C.Fn) options to expand ISO. It will register as H on the LCD. Hope that helps! -Don Thank you Bob, Edu and Romy. Edu, amongst the bodies I have used extensively the 7D has to be my favorite.
