Canon 500mm f/4 IS lens, 1.4x teleconverter, and a Canon EOS-1D Mark II mounted on a tripod. ISO 200. Manual mode 1/160 at f/25. Five flash set up. Ecuador.
This species is rare and quite shy. When I noticed this bird in the forest nearby I added a 1.4x teleconverter to my 500mm lens and stood well back from the set-up. Shy species are more likely to approach if you remain very still while you wait for the bird to come to the feeder set-up. For very shy species, a blind can be employed.
Wow.. you blow my mind away!!! I am speachless, and believe me, that is not easy... ;)
The pose, the lightning, the BG, the sharpness... I will say it again and again if I have to, I want to be the first one to buy you CD, the first one!!! I mean it!!! Congratulations, I admire you everyday more and more.
Very nice. Love that bill. I do not care what number I am as long as I get on the list for the CD! I am sure the waiting list is getting longer with the images you have posted lately.

Linda, the lighting on this one is really nice and natural, with great texture. The backlight blends perfectly, and the background looks like a clear blue sky. Great in-flight image of a really cool bird.
Cheers,
