My first 5D/100-400L garden bird shots

While sawing some logs up today, I had some visitors in the back garden, with their offspring in tow. I’ve not used this lens much for birds so thought I would have it out in the garden with me just in case and give it a try.

Some of these shots are heavily cropped as reach was a bit of a problem.

All taken with 5D, EF100-400L, f9-10, 400 Iso.

Amazing quality from those 5D's. Cute birdies too. Did you put them to work?

Yes I must admit I love the picture from this camera.

Sorry I should have put some detail to the pictures, but many will know already.

Father Blackbird with son or daughter, not sure which

I'm always amazed at the smoothness of the 5D and 1D pics compoared to the noise with the 30D.

#4 is superb, must get out to my garden, I've never shot birds...

some great detail in these and a nice combo.
Rob.

Looks like that combo works well for you. Very nice test shots indeed.

I would have thought the 30D is good too

Thanks, it took me a little while to get good results from this lens, but I'm OK with it now.

It's good, as opposed to better.

I can look at any image and tell instantly if it was taken with one of the 10 series cameras, the 5 or the 1 series. It's like night and day.

Great series, #4 stands out to me. Great detail.

They should be back up now, I think the host site was down for a little while.
