Thought I'd try out some in-flight shots with my 1D MKIV + 500f4 + 2.0TC at 1000mm

I'm pleased with this one :)

Having the added morning sun rise gave for nice light and tones aswell.

Spectacular light! You must have been really far away. You didn't crop this photo at all, correct?

You would have a serious problem in my book if you were not pleased. Great shot.

Gorgeous! Perfect focus and lighting. Love the way the droplets of water are streaming behind the duck.
