Coot
One from Wednesday when I met up with Phil H. Canon 1D MkIII + 500 iso 640 1/400 at f6.3
Posted by Chris Lloyd on November 17, 2007 at 9:27 AM
Beautiful! - Looks as though ISO 640 is very useable on the MK3. What were the bird numbers like at Slimbridge?

(have started to get the submissions together, Cheers Dave)

Hi Chris

Numbers of White-front and Bewick's Swan are still very low but Wigeon numbers are on the increase. I think it will be mid December before it gets to be good. Yes focus issues aside the 1D MkIII is a bit special!

Can't describe it any better than Mark above - beautiful shot which only gets me thinking again of selling my 300 2.8 for a MkIII :confused:

Hi David,

A stunning shot with that gorgeous gold coloured water being a bit special,as well as the shooting angle and composition of course.
