really really nice, the light is a bit harsh but great shot overall. I thought of getting the 1DmrkIII to complement my Sony cameras (which do landscapes for me). I was wondering how bad the ISO was in a shot like this at ISO 800?
Another very nice shot Binu. All looks good to me. Thanks for your feedback on my last post.

lke bg and landing pose
Really liking this one, Binu...the reflected light illuminating the under wings looks very good and the flight pose couldn't be better IMO.
Nice angle you got here, Good exposure, The light very nice to me, excellent image.

Awesome pose and the feet dangling down is not something we often see with this species in flight (at least as far as photos go\0. Processing looks good, great job overall.
Properly exposing a skimmer...black, red, white...can be a challenge similar to that of a Black Necked Stilt. Nice work on this one.
Though my Mark IV body's AF performance was better than the Mark III for BIF, I wouldn't say the difference was significant. Considering the AF performance improvement and the focal length of the lens you are going to use, Mark IV will be the best choice IMO. If you can get a used Mark IV in good condition for a reasonable price within your budget, I recommend that. But if you decide to go with a used 1D Mark III, be sure to test the AF performance as there are a lot of Mark III copies with AF issues.
Thank you for the reply, I am getting one that I know was fixed and all, so it should be fine. I think that for 1000$ you get a lot of camera, the IV costs 3500$ used, and that is too close to a used 1DX (which I plan to get later on down the road) so I think I will skip over the IV.
Excellent image with beautiful IQ.Love skimming pose with nice wing position, lights,BG, water, reflection of his beak and composition.
