Turnstone on colourful seaweed

From a local beach today - 7D and 100-400mm, 400mm handheld, 800 ISO.

Awesome image Keith, I love everything about it, subject, location, lighting, all really great.

He blends in pretty good. Nice shot.

That's a beauty!

Cracking shot, best I've seen of a Turnstone.

Thanks all.

Beautiful shot Keith in a wonderful composition.

Hey Keith, such a pretty bird - beautifully captured.

So I'm guessing that as-and-when I can get the 7D, you'd say it will go really well with my 100-400L?

(Please say "yes", please say "yes", please say "yes"....)

Thanks Joe.

Skygod, yes indeed - my 100-400mm was very good on my 40D, but on the 7D it's like a new lens: I'm seeing more fine feather detail and better microcontrast than I ever got from the 40D with the lens.

It's a great combo.

Don't....you're making me drool!!!


Thanks for the reply though. Just a few more weeks and I'll be ordering it, plus the 200L (only the f2.8).

Cheers again!

Very nice Keith. I'm still hoping to add one of these birds to my collection.

Thanks, Stephen.

Nice capture, but looks out of focus.

Beautiful shot!
