Some 7D MK2 Eagle shots..................

Some shots of White Tailed and Stellers Sea Eagles from south Hokkaido. All taken with the new 7D MK2 and 500 f4 Mk2 plus 1.4X teleconverter, handheld.

Incidentally these pics look like crap on Firefox but fine on Chrome, don't know what is going on there (maybe something to do with how firefox handles resolution, it seems to upscale them and they look blurry?)

Excellent shots. Look good on my version of Firefox.

I just went through a lot of your Eagle shots on your website...Wow, they are amazing! Well done!

Gorgeous series! Absolutely stunning!

Real Nice

Nice work. They look good in Safari!

Thanks for the nice comments everyone..............​.

Nice captures

Very nice. Regarding the focus problems reported with the 7DII, there are always such reports whenever a new Canon model is released. It is clear that it is not a general problem, since there are so many copies without any focusing issues. Also, Canon seems to be good at replacing any copies that seem to be problematic. I suspect, however, that most of the problems lie behind the viewfinder. Not all, but most.

Great series ! Never seen an eagle that color . Is it because of his age ?

Just to add to this there are also lots of 7Dmk2 owners with very low standards when it comes to a properly focussed image.
Not all, but a fair few
These are a very tidy set with the last one being the best.

Great set of shots, well done.

Thanks for the praise, do you mean the black and white ones? They are Stellers Sea Eagles, these are what some eagles look like outside North America! The brownish ones are both adult and young White Tailed Eagles. Both species are in the same genus as the North American Bald Eagle.

Supers shots, all of them!! How is the noise characteristics at high ISO?

Cheers,

Rajiv

Hi Rajiv. Better than the 7D but not fantastic. Here's one at 3200...............
