WOW! Awesome!

3 questions (since these are the type of shots I hope to catch):

1. What lens did you use?
   
2. How close were you to the GBH?
   
3. Do you think that is a shot a Rebel XT can catch (with enough knowledge)?

Thanks for sharing!

Randy

Thanks Randy!

1. It was the 100-400
2. ~12ft
3. Yes! In fact these WERE taken with a Rebel XT. Image quality is no issue at all with this camera.

BEAUTIFUL Dan -nice backgrounds,great color !

ngannet ....

.... do you REALLY need to bring the political B.S. to THIS board?

Your avatar is offensive to me ....

FYI: I am only on over 30 political forums - also I do have MY OWN privately owned political web site & forum!

Can you keep it nice & friendly?

If you need help making an avatar send me one of your photo's and I'll make one from it .....

It's always about the light and I will say you got light right. Almost forgot the pose, setting, contrast, color, backdrop and whatever else it takes for a super shot. You got those right also. Woo-hoo Dan!

These are absolutely gorgeous. I have strived to get one this nice to no avail.

stunning!

Daniel, this is where bird portraiture art takes over !
Very cleverly and thoughtfully executed shots. Blue and white theme.
I trust that you are mentoring junior PIPers on your methods....the lads need to go now a bit beyond "razor sharp". Especially Gary and Wayne.
