I came across Miguel Lasa's post on dpreview forum, followed a link to his site. I must say he's by far the best bird photographer I've ever come across.

Here is a link to his gallery (http://www.miguellasa.com)

with all words such as "stunning", "amazing", "beautiful", "wonderful", etc. still having a hard time to find one can truly describe Miguel's work

"Perfect" ?


Like that kind of woman you are lucky to meet once or twice in a lifetime?

What kind of woman? Never thought "perfect" and "woman" can be seen in one sentence, just like "stable" and "Micro$oft" ... :roll:

I visited his page on photosig.com, and he uses 1D MK II + EF 500mm for bird photography.

Scott, time for a new lens? :wink:

I've been lusting after the 500mm f/4 for some time now. I just can't reason my way into spending about $6,000 (counting a Wimberley, etc.)

Some day...

Sell your 400mm and get a 500mm, i'm sure those shots do a great job convincing you to move up.

Just imagine 500mm x 1.6 ... the focal length plus the contrast, sharpness, colour ... :wink:

Sure, sell the 400mm and come up with another $5,000.... Yeah, I'll do it tomorrow. :wink:

It aint about the lens here... that's for sure.

You could hand me a 1200mm f/5.6L tomorrow and I still wouldn't bring home pics that good :? :wink:

I spent alot of time in pure awe looking at some of his shots.

Oh god, please let me be just half as good as those.

Yes, many of those bird shots were so good I could almost taste them.

About $80-90K US. Something like that.


But if I ever hit the lottery....

I bet we could knock that price down to about $60,000 if we did a group purchase. Who's in? :)

On a more serious note, those are some incredible images.
