Alright so let me get this right...you spot metered this by following it with your HUGE Canon zoom lens, while keeping it on the bird you adjusted your exposure, adjusted for your awesome dof, and still managed to take this shot without a spec of camera shake.....alright, just wanted to make sure I'm getting the whole picture! Bill you're a god!!!!...LOL...Just appreciating your fabulous skills! Great job on this one. #5290526Deb Koskovich January 04, 2008

According to Danielle this is too good to be true, but I'm looking at it anyway. At least I think I am. Perhaps I need to get my eyes checked...or my brain. LOL!This is soooooooooooo beautiful and you've captured the majesty of this bird magnificently.

OK he was sitting on a log I spot metered him then he bolted so I was in spot meter mode I simply took a quick reading and lock on the brightest part of the wing and started blasting. #5291001Melissa G. Meiselman January 04, 2008
