Me too. I have a 500 reserved from Lensrentals.com for Veterans Day weekend, and I plan to hit four wildlife reserves. I will be using both bodies and various combos of TCs to see what I can get.

The 1DIV autofocus is nothing to sneeze at. It grabbed this duck with the 400 5.6 and held it as at flew in across of this group of trees. Check out the Harrier way up in the tree waiting for an opportunity.

Nice. I'm so tempted to go with a 1D MkIV. Need to save the pennies, though. They're still fetching $3-$3.5K.

Lenny never met a box he didn't like...Nex 6 at ISO 3200

There's a story here, I'll probably make a thread later. Short version - my buddy's opening up a store (GC Vapes, in Delray Beach, FL - selling vapor/e-cig stuff) and they've printed 8 of my shots and put them up on the walls.

This is a shot of 4 of them...

Pretty stoked to see my photography hanging somewhere other than my house

Centerline of image near the top of the tree. On the left branch group.

Nice shots, David.

Itsed65 · 11-03-2013, 12:27 PM

Mark wins!

And yes, very good use of the TS David.

ddk632 · 11-03-2013, 05:48 PM

Thanks Mark & Ed - appreciate it. Got some CC over on POTN that there was too much ceiling, but when I shot it the other way I thought there was too much floor

Might go and shoot there again but overall I like that shot.

Here's one from a few weeks back I just got to, some unusual ray-like cloud shadows during a sunset while I was at the beach with my mini-me's.

You could try a cinematic crop. 1:2.39

ddk632 · 11-03-2013, 07:14 PM

Are there crop presets in LR? I always just wing it...

M_Six · 11-03-2013, 07:17 PM

I don't know about LR. PS crop allows you to set it to a ratio.

ddk632 · 11-03-2013, 07:20 PM

Will google. Didn't know you can do that in PS either though, good to know!

If only I had the 500mm today instead of next weekend! I was watching a harrier fly around out of my range when I saw this guy all on his own wandering along the ridge. This is a pretty heavy crop from my 400.

Sounds like a job for the 500 with 2x TC

I like his pose and the vantage point. Nice catch!
