      Using the Mark IV for more than video eh? :)

      Just noticed you have this image under a Creative Commons license. This is unlike you.

      @Flashram I'm writing a review for Photofocus on the still side

      @James I am doing another test to see how many cases of infringement stem from this decision. I can (and probably will) restrict rights later.

    22. James Lagden (40 months ago | reply)

      Couldn't have picked a better shot to test it with. Did you use the 800mm for this?

    23. mikepj (40 months ago | reply)

      Fantastic timing...very nice.

      @ Anvilcloud Call it luck or patience either way I'll take it :)

    44. EdwardsNH (40 months ago | reply)

      Love seeing the Canon up there :-) Can't wait to see your review.

      Please tell me this was captured with rapid fire. If your timing is this good, I'm hanging up my camera.

      Nevermind, just read today's photofocus post. Rapid fire it is. Phew

      Hi Scott, this is an excellent capture. Great colors and sharpness!
      A simple question, if I had gotten anywhere close to a shot like this one, I would have cropped it to show a closeup. Did you consider a crop too?

    48. twv3088 (40 months ago | reply)

      Scott, does this mean you are switching back to Canon equipment?
