Thanks Rob, you are absolutely right, just as it says in Psalm 19 “The heavens declare the Glory of God”. Its great to have a hobby that reminds of that every time we pick up a camera! You will enjoy the MkIII with the 500…the large files are great. The only draw back is the lower frame rate but as Arni reminded me, a 1Dx will solve that problem

Wow Scott, what a fabulous set of shots. Have been just watching a documentary on geese in India where they travel up to 11,000 meters high to get to Northern India. To see a sequence like this always reminds me of how perfectly God created them. Similarly to the geese, obviously these guys are created and given the ability to fish & survive in a totally unique way. Thanks for sharing these shots. Truly wonderful shots. P.S. I’ll have to put my Mk111 on the 500 & see what I can get. Take Care!

Thanks Arni and you are right, at times like these the difference between 6 fps & 10 fps is huge… that’s why I ‘need’ 14 fps

This is a terrific sequence Scott. Photography is all about telling a story and you have most certainly achieved the objective here. I am also impressed that despite the lower frame rate of the 5DMKIII, you were still able to get a great action series. I hope this doesn’t undermine your case for getting a 1Dx. . Thanks for the plug and congrats on scratching yet another off your nemesis list!

Terrific series Scott. We enjoyed our time with the Scrub Jays when we were last in Florida and I look forward to doing so again. My quest this time will be to try and get images as great as these.

Nice series Scott and I have to agree with you about photographing Warblers. I hope to make it to that Old World habitat in May. Those Scaups make a nice addition to your gallery.

Thanks Arni….so now its a 1Dx & 600 II. Perhaps we can go halves and alternate weekends

Great shots Scott. If you are going to stick with the 5DMKIII as your primary birding body you need one of those new super-telephotos to match it. (even though your 500 + the 1.4 does a wonderful job!)

Thanks Rob…the new 5D is a fabulous body and I reach for the 1D MkIII less and less, even for birds. Perhaps it time for a 1Dx

Fabulous shots Scott. Love these. I used the 5D to take shots at the airshow a few weeks ago and it performed extremely well so I am not surprised to see such good shots of the eagle
