These were shot by my friend Chris and I'm posting them with his permission. The lighting wasn't the best and he's limited by his equipment but I think he did a bang-up job. He'd like some C&C because he wants to get better with his photography.
Thanks

Regards,
Chuck

Ok, so define "Limited?"

I don't see much in the way of limitations here. These are terrific...

Give him a MkIV and a 500mm f/4 and I predict he'll be in NatGeo within a year...

Nice shots! I still say (within reason) it is not the equipment, it is the photographer.

I wouldn't knock that equipment at all. I sold a 75-300 and wish I hadn't because it did a good job in certain circumstances and is much smaller than a 100-400. These are good shots.

Obviously he's not aware the 75-300 is Canon's worst lens

He's done extremely well with these shots - so please pass it on.

BTW - why isn't he a member?

If he gets much better, he should change his last name to Audobon.

Interesting. I used to have a 75-300 and I don't remember having any bokeh that nice (out-of-focus background blur quality). That's pretty good.
