This fighter pilot was coming to the rescue...:eek::D I like the flight angle Mr. Forns. The color rendition and feather details are super...good show...it looks that you guys had alot of activity at Anhinga...:cool:

Nice lens (like the 4.0 series) and exposure techs, the neg compensation is text book. I shot Black Vultures often and this is not an easy bird to expose correctly- well done. Full wing span is a plus.

Hi Jeff I used to have the 2.8 but sold it and got the 4.0 Light and sharp, one of my favorites !!!

Very nice Al, I love the 70-200 f/4 too! sharper than 2.8!!! haven't tried it for birds and with 1.4 at all, is the focus fast enough for flight shots?

Great capture Al. I love the BG of the walkway. Just perfect....

Hi Arash It slows down like anything else but have had no trouble locking in !! .. and with a crop factor camera becomes a 140-400 !!!

You make it look so easy Al, I like the wing tips spread out. Very nice.

Al - Big Congrats - love the composition - the boardwalk in the BG really adds to this - IMHO.
Lovely exposure on those blacks.
