Thanks james, I do only handhold, I dont like the resrictions of tri or monopods, The lenses I use are the lighest of the canon L telephotos, the zoom is 100-400 and is only 3.2lbs, and my prime is a 400mm F/4 DO which weighs 3.8, so they are not very heavy and allow me to handhold all day, and panning once you get used to a lens as nikon makes simular ones becomes very easy over time, but it is that initial time that most give up..
I can give you any and all info as far as settings etc.. should you wish to email me..

I love to talk bird shooting!

Marcus, your in flight captures have always fascinated me. They are always spot on in every aspect. This is no exception. Perfect detail and exposure. I realize that at 1/2000 sec a big lens can be handheld, but is this the technique you use? Or are you using a tripod with a ballhead and panning? Hope you don't mind the questions but it is a technique I would love to try and master and don't know where to start.

Your work is just the best. I have said this before and I will say it again. You are probably the best bird photographer (especially in flight) that I have seen across the internet. There are many great bird photographers all focusing on different forms of bird photography....but in general you win...hands down.

Thanks Jeanette, just thought i would let you know I dont use a tripod just run around like a mad man handholding :) your right they are very restricting and not for me..

I?m nailed by the eagle and feel i have run so i wont be the next victim, oh - i?m too big, i?m safe! :)
GREAT capture of a bird flying. To get it sharp when it?s flying and having big lenses can?t be the easiest ting - even thought there?s tripod?s, but they are so boring to use!
