Kite in Snow.

I wanted to test the AF in the Canon 1D4 so, being tight for time, I chose the obvious subject and location; Gigrin and Kites.

What added nicely to the test conditions was a good cross wind, driven horizontal snow, low contrast, bland sky and a BG of black distant trees of no real distiction because of the snow.

500mm/Tpod
400'/F4/800ASA
Cropped for comp, normal PS with a bit more adjustment in levels

Had a good time...

Tom,

I've been waiting for you to post something from your visit.

Spot on focus, I trust you are happy with the AF on 1DMk4?

So Tom, do you have any thoughts or verdict on the 1D MKIV now? :wink:

The AF preformed better than I expected given the challenge.
