Top shots!!


BTW....They are that detailed/sharp at first glance I would have sworn the shots were captured with a Canon prime lens rather than a zoom ( was thinking 500 f4 MK2) and was honestly suprised when I read deatils that it was a the 100-400 zoom withextender!! ...Just goes to show you how damn good that Mk 2 100-400 is especially when coupled with a fast FPS camera like the 1dx ... Doesnt get much better than this for BIF.....well done

Hah thanks mate. I sit in a portable dog house blind so I can usually get pretty close. It's an advantage.
