This image was created at Nickerson Beach, Long Island NY on the recently concluded Nickerson Beach Baby Beach Nesting Birds IPT with the tripod-mounted Canon EF 600mm f\/4L IS II USM lens<\/a>, the Canon 2x EF Extender III (Teleconverter)<\/a>, and the Canon EOS-1D X Digital SLR camera<\/a>. ISO 800. Evaluative metering +1 stop: 1\/160 sec. at f\/10 in Manual Mode. <\/p>\n

For general bird photography the 600 II cannot be beat, especially for those capable of making sharp images with the 2X III TC. For those who cannot the 800 f\/5.6L IS with the 1.4X III TC is the way to go. <\/p>\n

Central sensor Expand (by necessity)\/AI Servo\/Rear Focus AF just in front of the bend of the chick’s wing stub active at the moment of exposure. Click here<\/a> if you missed the Rear Focus Tutorial. Click on the image to see a larger version.<\/p>\n
