Dolina: WOW!


Canons to the left, Canons to the right,
We hold our L glass toward the light,
Digitizing in a snap reflective glory
That will forever tell our imaged story.

I am (quite sadly) packing this lens up to go back to Canon Professional Services, but I had a great time with it during my evaluation loan. The IS is mind-blowing and I used it with a monopod almost the entire time. Here are some of the better shots:

Olive-backed Sunbird, Cinnyris jugularis (external link) by Paolo Dolina (external link), on Flickr

The Olive-backed Sunbird, Cinnyris jugularis, also known as the Yellow-bellied Sunbird, is a species of sunbird found from Southern Asia to Australia.

The sunbirds are a group of very small Old World passerine birds which feed largely on nectar, although they will also take insects, especially when feeding young. Their flight is fast and direct on their short wings. Most species can take nectar by hovering, but usually perch to feed most of the time.

The Olive-backed Sunbird is common across southern China to the Philippines and Malaysia down to northeast Australia. They are small songbirds, at most 12 cm long. In most subspecies, the underparts of both male and female are bright yellow, the backs are a dull brown colour. The forehead, throat and upper breast of the adult male is a dark, metallic blue-black. In the Philippines (where they are known as "tamsi") the males of some subspecies have an orange band on the chest, in Wallacea and northern New Guinea some subspecies have most of the underparts blackish, and in southern China and adjacent parts of Vietnam most of the underparts of the male are greyish-white.

Originally from mangrove habitat, the Olive-backed sunbird has adapted well to humans, and is now common even in fairly densely populated areas, even forming their nests in human dwellings.

The birds mate between the months of April and August. Both the male and the female assist in building the nest which is flask-shaped, with an overhanging porch at the entrance, and a trail of hanging material at the bottom end.

After building the nest, the birds abandon the nest for about a week before the female returns to lay one or two greenish-blue eggs. The eggs take a further week to hatch. The female may leave the nest for short periods during the day during incubation. After the chicks have hatched, both male and female assist in the care of the young, which leave the nest about two or three weeks later.

Canon USA Issues EF 200mm f/2 L IS and EF 800mm f/5.6 L IS Service Notice
From Canon USA:

To Users of the EF200mm f/2L IS USM and EF800mm f/5.6L IS USM Lenses with the Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera.

AHHHH! I had been watching an out-of-state ad on craigslist for a Canon 800/5.6L and it finally took a precipitous drop down to $8500. I emailed the seller and no response, and he has just now finally deleted his post. I feel it was a legit ad as it had been up for months, starting at 10k (at least, that's when I noticed it) and it slowly drop since. I'd rather have never known about the ad at all...it's killing me! :(
