Title: NFR more birds :)
Post by: DragonSpeed on February 03, 2008, 02:53:16 PM

Was out yesterday at Burnaby lake for a couple of hours shooting birds.  I was working on Birds in flight particularly.  Here are a few:

Male Green Winged Teal

Two Male Mallards

I think I'm becoming a spring/summer trout fisherman at this rate.  I just don't seem to have enough free time to get out and fish on the fall/winter weekends :(  At least I have the birds to keep me happy.

Cheers!

These shots were taken with a Canon 40D. Lens was the 100-300 4.5-5.6 @ 300mm  It's a new camera for me so I'm really working to excercise its strong points. (focus tracking moving objects, fast frame rate etc.)
