Hi all,

I think a lot more is being read into some of these messages than is actually there, but I love everyone, so moving on, I thought the following might be of interest to the photographers out there:

Jim Neiger is a photographer who handholds huge lenses for flight shots. He's developed some techniques for getting some amazing flight photographs, notably his "bumping the focus" method. You can read about it at http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1949. Arthur Morris also talks about it in his blog at http://www.birdsasart-blog.com/2010/02/28/carmens-tale-handholding-the-canon-800mm-f5-6l-is-lens/. (Sorry, I'm too lazy to do the tiny URL thing.) Also, check out Jim's website at http://www.flightschoolphotography.com/ for some samples of his work. The "crazy action images" gallery has some interesting shots.

Also, I finally got around to adding another Canon 7D post to my blog. There are some indoor comparison shots between my 7D and 30D at http://zbirdtours.com/blog/2010/03/15/canon-7d-image-quality-comparison/ for those of you who care about such things.

Later,
