Hi All

The other day I went to the Corpus Christi Bay to see what birds I might come across, I ran into some Egrets and Herons, but I spotted a Brown Pelican flying so I decided to give my camera's AI servo mode some exercise. Comments and Criticizums please.


Canon EOS 1Ds Mk II, aperture priority, Canon EF 300mm f2.8L IS with Canon EF 1.4x II TC, f4 at 1/2000 sec

They look pretty darn good to me, hard to come up with any criticism--other than why are you at the beach and I'm stuck here at work??????????

I would like to give you a warm welcome to POTN but in particular the bird forum Harry. You have an excellent series of shots here. In particular the brown pelican shots, No 4 is a classic good shot, beautifully focused.
All the shots have natural colouring, well done.

The focus on the birds is spot on with nice blurring of the background. A very nice set of shots.
