It's been a while since I posted anything on this forum. :D
Here are some images shot in the past month or so at the SF Bay Area.
They were taken handheld with the Canon 7D + 500L + 1.4x TC.

    Incredible set of images; just outstanding! The detail is phenomenal. My personal favorites are the lazuli bunting, the calliope and the violet-green swallow. thumb.gif

    these are so great and illustrate exactly why I don't attempt bird photography. That turkey certainly has something on his mind...I wonder what it is?? ; )

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Harry, I switched to Canon last year after waiting and waiting for
    Sony to deliver better cameras/lenses for wildlife.
    I am very happy with the 7D + 500L combo. It's heavy but delivers
    very good results.

    Hope to see you next year in Florida.

    Cheers,

    You were getting outstanding images with your Sony gear. Its a shame that their lens selection is so limited for wildlife photography because some of their bodies are excellent.
