Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM

You can be my wingman anytime...

Masterfully captured. Wonderfully sharp, great composition, lighting is lovely. Yeah, it's a beautiful shot only enhanced by the clouds/smoke.

Graçias...

Excellent image of the Mustang Jay, I just looked at my office wall when I saw that and realised I've got a framed poster of that plane hanging there!
For the record it was 84th Fighter Squadron, 78th Fighter Group 8th Airforce based at Duxford(Station 357) Cambridgeshire England flown by Col. John D. Landers.

Sorry about the trivia!

Thanks for all of the above...

IIRC, the original BBD is hanging in the Imperial War Museum in the UK.

Jay, you continue to raise the bar. This shot has it all, SO well done - WoW.

Oh, and your "Check Six" shot: Killer.

Thanks very much Steve.

Here are a couple of shots from my newly used 500. These were hand held and I still getting used to heavier longs lens techniques. What do you think of the b/w, I was a little torn between them and the color versions.

An adorable image, really like this. Exposed beautifully as well on the blacks, especially considering the shadows and lighting.

thank you very much. The 5d mkiii is a joy to shoot with.

Yes it is a joy to use, isn't it?

You mean the magic isn't all in the lens?

It's more 2x(magic) very atmospheric shot there, btw.
