Wow! I always enjoy your images!

Nice work Daniel. Love the swan and the light on the second Greenhead.

Did you beam any of these? All are excellent, as always.

Thanks for looking, ya.

Can't do it. Mike. I would love to add beamer in this mix if it could keep up with 10fps, nope, not a chance. :)

Besides, the weight is slightly too much to hand-held the 500mm setup with flash. Just adding 1.4x alone felt like really "losing" a full stop of light, physically.

Wow, great set. 1 and 2 are my faves. I'm jealous of your set-up.

Awesome! Wish my rig had that 'problem'.

Keep 'em coming Daniel.

great images !!!!!!!

The coot is my favorite even if the wingtip is chopped off.... super duper action and you just don't see many photos of their really cool feet.

Extremely difficult to pick a favorite out of those shots. I like 'em all. I'd dearly love to catch birds on the wing, but when it comes to doing that I @%$#>$##@!-not printable. Very very nice set of shots of birds in motion.

Excellent flight shots Daniel. I'd love to have that combo. Looks like the Mark IV is a keeper. Any issues with it so far?

Just how big a boy are you? (said in my best Roy D Mercer voice) Pretty impressive handholding a 500mm lens.

Wow... I wanna learn to shoot like that!
