My first reaction was "great picture".

Until I read...

840mm @ 1/125, HANDHELD

Then my thoughts turned to...

This guy must have some incredible technique (or the ability to not breathe, stop his heart, and turn into a stone pillar). I sometimes have a hard enough time hand holding 200mm @ 1/125 outdoors on a 7dmkII, let alone 840mm.

Really well done, and a reminder that I need to work on my technique even more.

Thanks guys.

Another Kingfisher this time with his catch Taken in bad light hence ISO6400 @ 1/125 @ 840mm Handheld.

Finally got the W-E1 wi-fi adapter. Played around with it for 5 minutes and it works great. Anyone else got one?

Got mine on friday, havent had a chance to play with it yet.. hope to this week.

Yes stabilization on Sigma sports is very effective I have got good results from it

Telling me how good the IS has become on the new lenses is going to make my wife hate you all.

Honey...I think I need to upgrade and buy a new lens or two...

We all travel in similar boats
But this is true stabilization on Canon 100-400mark 1 was non existant compared to Sigma sports ,
do not know about Mark II though.

Anyway super capture and technique

Hi Mark, would be interested in what settings you use as I find Nik dfine2 cleans up the noise but destroys too much fine detail when I use it compared to using the Lightroom NR sliders.
