From the back deck

[finnbay]

Had some birds coming into the feeder late last night and decided to try to get some shots in the fading light. Canon 40D, 100-400 mm on tripod, 1/320 @ f/5.6. Flash fill @ -1/3 EC.

Those are beautiful Ken! That last bluejay shot is a wall hanger. Fantastic use of fill flash.

I agree that Blue Jay is top notch. A definate Favorite of Mine.

[MN Shutterbug]

They are all super. My fave is the first. Is that an Evening Grosbeak? You must have been in a blind to get such awesome photos at 200mm.

[finnbay]

Sorry, X - my bad. Was the 100-400! Opened the patio doors and shot across and 8 foot deck. Thanks all!

[Catmendo]

They're all great! I have to leen a little more towards the Blue Jay simply because of the colors that were brought out!

[Steve Foss]

I like them all, Ken. The evening grosbeaks are my faves, but the jay is top notch, too.

[mmeyer]

Really good stuff Ken! I like the Bluejay the most I think.

[buzzsaw]

The first E.G. works best for me... good eye contact and sharp!

[finnbay]

Thanks again, all. The first grosbeak is my fave as well.

[Steve Foss]

I can't help it. I just love those yellow, white and black babies.

[finnbay]

Took the dogs for a walk on the back forty and this little guy let me get a couple of quick grab shots. I think it's a chestnut sided warbler.

Never saw one of these before. Canon 40D 400 ISO, 1/1000 @ f/5.6

[Steve Foss]

Yep, good ID and good images, especially the first one.

[buzzsaw]

Again, very nice!

Vary nice, i was looking at the 40D myself. i was just going to ask u how u like the 40D and if it is worth getting it? i have the canon D30, its kind of old but it still takes nice pics.

[finnbay]

hegs,

I've been very happy with it. Most of the photos I've taken over the past couple of months have been with this camera. Gives some rest to my Mark II's which I use almost exclusively for the sports.
