Beautiful subjects and very nicely caught. I guess the AF tracking of the 7D is doing its job.

Hey Luis, I just bought a 7D myself, but alas, no 500

These are fabulous captures

Do you find the 7D to be simply amazing?

Hi Dan!

Thanks for commenting.

Yes, the 7D is a great camera, I am really enjoying it.
I am still exploring the different AF combinations though.
So far I've been having some success with the center Zone-AF, but I need to get more accurate in my tracking and start using the center point only (hard to do while handholding the 500L ).

I hear ya. I have a hard time tracking and holding my 300/1.4Tc combo, but the 7D is sure easier than my 50D was

Awesome flight shots, a couple of them are award winning category. I enjoyed browsing through these images.

Excellent set, Luis!

The Gadwell is really a beauty...and the American Avocet is perfectly exposed for a light colored subject.
