Challenge: Free Study 2007-03 (Advanced Editing V)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS
Location: Niagara Falls, Ontario
Date: Mar 25, 2007
Aperture: 5.6
ISO: 1600
Shutter: 1/3200
Galleries: Portraiture, Animals
Date Uploaded: Mar 30, 2007

 Oops, forgot I had it at ISO 1600, that's why the funny settings. Had it on Av. A good example of how forgiving the camera is, even for idiots like me.

This was my first day out with my new 100-400 lens and we were mostly in heavy shade at this bird sanctuary, hence the 1600 ISO, but this happened to be a sunny area and I was in a hurry to stay ahead of a convention of tourists.

This shot isn't cropped very much, and I was actually back a fair distance, zoomed to 640mm handheld, I find myself dreaming about the IS on this lens these days.

Very well done! The bokeh compliments the parrot beautifully, and his eye is crystal clear.

Great sharpness/clarity/colors on the bird. The intensely colorful background is a bit distracting.

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two three now and I'm running late, sorry.
