It is the 200-400, not the newest one that just came out. I shot with and still have the 300f4 AF-S and the 300 is a very nice lens. The 300 and even the 200-400 is short for birds but can do the job. Hand-holding is possible but I would not want to do it for an extended period of time (example http://www.flickr.com/photos/bryntassell/4467969916/) The 300 is very good for hand-holding and overall a very good lens. If you want some examples or have more questions let me know.

This seems counter intuitive but the background is what makes a good bird photo. Look at any "good" bird photo and they will usually have a nice plain background with no details, this helps showcase your main subject, the bird in this case without taking away from it. If you are using a feeder you can setup a natural perch with something that is going to give you a pleasant background such as some cut branches or something along those lines.

Bahama.llama - your spoonbill looks under exposed guessing due to the light colouration of it, try bumping the exposure up a bit. --

Gear is gear, make the best out of what you have. I used a 300f4 for a while before getting my 200-400 and that said 400 is a little short for birds really, I think ideally I would like to get a 500 instead.

BetterLekNextTime posted:^^^^^Wow- the second one in particular is just breathtaking. Really fantastic. A friend met a guy (maybe the same one) who was making a book just like that and I saw some of the "plates" and the photoshop work was not very good. It is an interesting idea I am just not sure how practical it is. I still think illustrated guides would be better as there is nothing effecting the birds (lighting,angle,focus) etc. I am really curious to see how it all pans out just not sure it is a guide for me.

InternetJunky posted:Are they obvious and easy to find? Any extra details you could provide would be most welcome! I've driven around in Alberta now for 2 weekends looking for snowys without luck. They are the top of my bucket list, so your post is making me consider an extended weekend trip to BC. I think they are pretty easy to find, seems like you just need to find the huge crowd out in the area and you will find them...

Solved, I have made a new wildlife thread. If anyone feels like it needs a proper OP maybe we can put something together. I feel like it is pretty much the same as the one in this thread. Wildlife Photography: Zooming with your feet may get you mauled

It looks like you tried to do some kind of HDR process or something to me. It also looks like a Northern Cardinal to me but hard to say for sure.
