Meadow Pipit with 7D

The more I use the 7D the more I am liking it for bird photography.
This was taken yesterday at ISO 800 and with a 2x tc attached to the 300/2.8. It seems to me to capture more fine detail than with the same lens/tc combo on the 40D.
Thanks for looking, C & C welcome.

Beautiful, detailed shot Roy. Lovely smooth BG too.

Nice job.

Matt.

Sweet shot. I had forgotten what sunlight is.

you guys and those 7d's, oh well, that is a very nice shot for the iso speed, very nice! I would and do cringe at shooting 800, never turns out like this, a great shot!

Thanks for the comment Bret - the cleanness at ISO 800 was one of the reasons I posted this as I have seen a lot of comments where people claim the 7D is noisy at these mid range ISO's, the trick is to expose 'to the right'.

like it and a good show for iso 800 too.

Great shot Roy.....all these 7D pictures that are being posted sure are making it harder and harder to resist buying one.

Sweet shot, Roy.

Thanks to everyone for commenting.

Lovely photo, Roy.
