This is a truly beautiful bird and you've photographed it beautifully. What I find interesting (and I'm smiling here as I type this) is that you shot it with a 10D. Here most of the world is chasing higher and higher pixel counts and more bells and whistles while you get out there with a camera 4 generations back and produce these great images. You have proven with these images that all it takes is knowing how to use the good gear we already have. Congrats on a fine job.

Shooting with more great Canon gear than I deserve. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Yes, you have beautifully captured this bird for sure, like it's feet. I don't believe we have them here in NS. :cry:

All the best,

Nice shots, shows what can be done with older gear, and here was me wanting a 50D, perhaps I should stick with the 350D :D

Thanks all..

I've had this old 10D since it was new. I bought it when they were first released. I've come close to buying a 40D when they came out and then a 50D when they were introduced, but I changed my mind at the last minute.. I'm actually hoping that this old 10D wears out and breaks soon. Then I'll be forced to upgrade :)

Well, I'm sure you'd be impressed with the new features, but you seem to be doing fine with what you have. But if you really want it broken, ship it my way and I'll take care of it for you. :lol:
