Big Boy...
It is rare when the spoonbills do not cooperate to the utmost on the Hooptie-Deux, but the Brown Pelican flight photography is always outstanding. This image was created last week with the handheld 400mm f/4 IS DO Canon lens and the EOS-1D MIII. ISO 800. Evaluative Metering +2 2/3rds stops off the white sky: 1/640 sec. at f/4.5 set manually. Took just a bit off the top. Horizontally this is the full frame. My MIII bodies seem to focus most accurately on really close flight subjects. Central AF sensor on the bird's neck.
Don't be shy; all comments welcome. later and love, artie
