This parent loom was catching lunch for the chicks. I caught this frame and one with the same loon feeding it to the chicks mouth to mouth. I will post that tomorrow.
Canon EOS 20D, Shooting Date/Time 7/5/2006 07:32:27, Shutter Speed 1/100Sec. Av(Aperture Value) F8.0, Evaluative metering, Exposure Compensation -1, ISO 200, Lens: 100-400mm, Focal Length 400.0 mm, Flash Off, White Balance Auto, AI Servo AF. Cropped for a 11x17.
I had just began to explore AV mode and dialing in my exposure. James Shadle was encouraging me to explore something other than auto. I was in my canoe with my wife steering, lord bless her for all of my tense moments back then and todays present ones. I was trying to pay attention to the background, cropping in frame, etc. With the 5D and the 100-400, slow shutter speeds and highly active birds, it was difficult to say the least. I am somewhat satisfied with the results here. I am keeping it till better comes along. This year with the MK2n and the 300 2.8 with or without the 2x...look out loons. I can't wait till ice out!
ADDED: I no longer own the 20D. I use only a 5d and MK2n. The room to use above is sticky, so the only choice left is below.
