New Toy

Posted By Paul Casper

Very impressive and encouraging, Chris. I just ordered the Canon 10D with a Canon 400mm f/5.6L lens, and I can't wait to try it out on a few critters. I miss a lot of great shots driving through our local wildlife refuge when I open the car door to get out to get my digiscoping setup out of the trunk. I'm hoping the 10D/400mm will let me shoot more close birds from the car, using the 10D low noise/high ISO speed advantages.

Keep postinf those great images....Paul

To all you folks with new equipment

No worries on the home front Tyler! My wife made me do it! Of course I put up a good fight, but she won out in the end.

Enjoy your vacation! Lets see some pictures when you get back.

Dove with New Equipment !!!

Really nice shot Gene. Not a hint of chromatic abberation. Reflecting scopes really have the advantage in that department. What was the equivalent focal length of the scope used as the dSLR lens? Is your photo straight from the camera or did you process it?

Great shot Bryan! The Canon 10D with that lens is a killer combination, but you have to know how to use it. Obviously, you do!!

Not sure?

Don't know what he is, Bryan, but I like the shot. The 10D + 400mm f/5.6 is a killer combo.

Just a Robin

Some of the best pictures I have are of common birds. This is a great close up. I assume you are coupling your D100 to the C5 without an eyepiece. What is the 35mm equivalent lens focal length of this combo?

Excellent shot! Very 3D. You are really getting good with that 10D/400.
