This image was created on Long Island, New York with the tripod-mounted Canon 800mm f\/5.6L IS lens, the 1.4X II TC, and the EOS-1D Mark IV. ISO 800. Evaluative metering +2\/3 stop: 1\/800 sec. at f\/8 in Av mode. <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Which is the Best? Keep two. Delete one. Why?<\/h2>\n

Let’s call them A, B, and C. Interestingly enough each image was created in the same 1\/100 sec: 2011:01:01 08:42:10. Pretty amazing…. Let me know which you think is the very best of the three and why and which is the worst of the three, and why. For me, one is a clear delete but I am betting that there will be some folks who pick that one as best \ud83d\ude42 Please note that the JPEGs here were created from the extracted JPEGs. None of them has been optimized. Please therefore do not take any differences in exposure (however minor) into account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Same gear. Same exposure. AI Servo AF. Lens micro-adjustment +7 (as determined by Lens Align; more on that coming soon). <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

It is amazing to me that the three images exhibit some relatively major differences despite that fact that they were created in virtually the same instant….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relevant Bonus Question: If you have a camera that operates at a true 10 frames per second and your shutter speed is set manually at 1\/1000 sec., what percentage of the action\/poses are you missing?<\/em><\/p>\n

Shopper’s Guide<\/h2>\n

Here is a list of the gear that I used to create the images above. Thanks a stack to all who have used the Shopper’s Guide links to purchase their gear as a thank you for all the free information that we bring you on the Blog and in the Bulletins.<\/p>\n

Canon 800mm f\/5.L IS lens<\/a> Right now this is my all time favorite super-telephoto lens.
\nCanon EOS-1D Mark IV professional digital camera body<\/a> And this is the very best professional digital camera body that I have even used.
\nCanon 1.4X II teleconverter<\/a> This is my most used accessory; I would be lost without it. <\/p>\n

And from the BAA On-line Store:<\/p>\n

Gitzo 3530 LS Tripod<\/a> This one will last you a lifetime.
\nMongoose M3.6 Tripod Head<\/a> Right now this is the best tripod head around for use with lenses that weigh less than 9 pounds. For heavier lenses, check out the Wimberley V2 head<\/a>.
\n Double Bubble Level<\/a> You will find one in my camera’s hot shoe whenever I am not using flash.
\nDelkin 32gb e-Film Pro Compact Flash Card<\/a> Fast and dependable.
\nNEOS Navigator 5 Insulated Overshoes<\/a> My brand new pair of NEOS Navigators kept me warm and dry and provided safe footing and a good grip on the slippery jetty rocks. <\/p>\n
