Fuck you! How do you get so many days off???? :p

Me getting days off? Nooo! I just work early mornings. :P 630a - 3p most of the time. Thats not at Riefel either, its by Iona Beach in Richmond. :) Screw you and your 9-5's!

*AHEM* It's 8:30-5. :)

Were those sandhills there yesterday?

I actually wasn't at reigel yesterday so I'm not sure.

Nice photo's Senna! What was your setup? That first one is really good!

Thanks. Setup was Canon 7D + 500mm f4L IS USM + 1.7 TC II.

The panorama was 5 stitched images minus TC.

Where did you get the TC from?

Time to resurrect this thread! Its Brackendale time! You guys gotta check it out, its got some great action! Found some good spot's too! Went on Saturday, and Tuesday. Gotta love having a weekday off every now and then. Most likely the last time i'll use my 400mm F5.6L lens. Gonna miss it alot! Anyways, here are a tiny bit of what i got. Only the eagle was at Brackendale, the other one was behind YVR at Iona Beach. Will post more Brackendale shots soon!

Most likely my fav. eagle shot that i got the whole day

I don't know what these are called, but they were pretty cool to watch. Was in the right place at the right time to get this shot. I waited around for 15-20 mins. Right when the run was going down, with the sun at my back.

Both pics taken with 40D + 400mm F5.6L

Jesus that lens is sharp! I'll trade you my iPhone + cash for your lens :p

I'll give you my iPhone + cash + 2 boxes of Girl Guide cookies!

I'm going to Brackendale or Mission (or both!) during the last week of December.

Senna, you know of some good spots in Mission? If so, please let us know! I want an "in" on your secret's!

Winter is some of the best times to get amazing bird shots! Get outside in this beautiful cold weather that we're having and post them up! I know i will!

Leaving Vancouver @ 6am so we can get to Mission early to catch the eagles feeding.

Not bad Senna, not bad at all! Good for the conditions you had to deal with! :)

Where was that last one taken, and what kinda bird?

Kenya. It's a Lilac -Breasted Roller.

So you dropped by Kenya after your afternoon excursion to Reifel?

It was a bit of a detour, but I managed. :p

I'm in the midst of processing my gf's African safari photos. I'll post them up once I'm done. She got some great shots, actually.

How'd that trip to Mission go on the 28th Senna? Here are a few first shots with the 500L! Amazing lens! Still getting used to using it.

That`s just a bit! Love getting out there with this lens! Lugging it around is always fun too!

Is it me, or do the images look a bit soft?
