Hi guys, Firstly, I want to say thanks to Mr. Romy Ocon for endorsing me to Canon and I am now a proud owner of a 100-400mm lens. I got it last week and tried it on some birds in Lubao, Pampanga over the week and managed to get some that I liked enough to post. Here's one of my favorites, a Bright-capped Cisticola. I like it because of the bird-in-habitat look of the picture. I tried to crop it a bit to show the bird bigger in the picture but I still liked the full frame the best. Canon 30D+100-400mm @400mm, f5.6, 1/1600, ISO 400, Full frame, Auto tone in AdobeLightroom Cropping it to just the bird shows its still pretty sharp. Please feel free to comment.

Wow.... seems you got a good copy of the 100-400 Mark, congrats! Love the composition of the full frame.
BTW, looks you have a sensor dust spot above the bird, you can easily clone it out or just have your sensor cleaned at Canon service.

Thanks Bob and Romy!
Wow you really have a great eye for detail Romy. Thanks for pointing it out. I had not even noticed it. I checked my other pics and it does show in pics with light background on that spot. I will try to fix it. It's just a borrowed body but I told him about it already. I still have to buy my own but I am split between 550d and 7d now.

Nice catch in a nice pose. Been looking for the one in Frogs but I can only hear it and won't come out.

Wow, great shot, Mark! Now you have a 100-400mm! That's great!
The other Mark has that lens too!!! He he he, be careful not to swing that glass on him when you two bird together.
That means you have to get the Mark II 5D body, he he he! 7D is okay though!
Congrats and keep on shooting!
