Thanks click.
Damn you are fast responding, and always with kind words, I wish I could manage to respond to all the fantastic posts on here, but I don’t seem to find the words often enough, makes me feel kind of guilty.

Cheers, Graham.

Nice series, Graham. I especially like the last picture.

Hi Alan.
As I said, I love the 7DII, and I know that the 100-400 works really well with it, I was fresh from one of the gear threads that is slating Canon cameras, the smileys I used to convey sarcasm didn’t come out as I used the iPad menu not the forum drop down, I am going to put them in now!

Cheers, Graham.

Graham, the 100-400mm II pairs really well with the 7DII. I have been tempted to buy one but feel as soon as I do Canon will announce a new APS-C.

Well both 7DIi and 5DsR work very well with 100-400Ii. Recently I used 7DII with 400DOII a very good combination too. The advantage of either 100-400 or 400DOII is that their reasonable lweight in combination with their very good IS give us the capability to use them in low shutter speeds should we need to keep ISO down in static low light situations.

That's reminded me:

Another Skylark - 1D x, 500mm f/4 Mk II and 1.4x TC, handheld.

Starting Seagull.
Some BF. But not too bad thinking of the used equipment: 9-dot-AF of the 200D +EF85/1.8.
1/1000, f/8, ISO 640, only slight cropping

From a trip to the Farne Islands off Northumberland (NE England) a year, all with the 7D Mk II and 100-400mm Mk II, handheld (of course).

Beautiful shots, Keith. I especially like the first one.

Hmm does that line on his eye means 1/4000s is too slow to stop swallow ?

It seems so, although you can always pan which seems funny at 1/4000 !

Great catch. It look like a stealth airplane!
These Cliff Swallows were putting on brake, so 1/2000s was enough or perhaps a bit slow.


and this Tree Swallow at 1/1600s looks as if standing still mid air.

Very nice photos!
My contribution is a White Tern. The branches of the trees didn't help with the tracking...

Lovely. I really like the 3rd one. Well done, ISv.
