As you can see in the photo below, the huge flocks of geese at Klamath stretched for hundreds of yards. I made the image above with the Canon 70-200mm f.2.8L IS lens, the EF 2X III TC, and the EOS-1D Mark IV (hand held at 230mm). ISO 100. Evaluative metering +1 2\/3 stops: 1\/15 sec. at f\/18 in Tv mode. <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Dreams of Kernini<\/h3>\n

I made it to the hotel near Lake Kerkini in Greece at about 4pm Saturday afternoon. Miraculously, I was upgraded to Club Class on my British Airways red eye flight from Orlando to London and slept quite well thank you very much :). I will be in bed in a few minutes as the time here is seven hours ahead of Florida. Robert O’Toole has been here photographing the Dalmatian Pelicans, the world’s largest pelican species, for 6 days. Tonight he wowed the group with a killer slide program of his Kerkini images. I will be dreaming of the spectacular pelicans in a few. And tomorrow I will get to photograph them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memories of Klamath<\/h3>\n

Steve Spence of Leo’s Camera in Klamath Falls sent me this fine image and several others just as good. Thinking back, there sure were a lot of geese on the refuge, and I met lots of wonderful folks in Oregon as well. Leo’s Camera was a major sponsor of the Winter Wings event. <\/p>\n

See two more Klamath images and hear from a few of the folks who attended by checking out BAA Bulletin #364. You will find it on line here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Below is a list of the gear that I used to create the image 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 70-200mm f\/2.8L IS II lens.<\/a> Man, I am loving this lens on my shoulder with the 2XIII teleconverter.
\nCanon EF 2X III TC<\/a>. It seems that the new 2X (the EF 2X III) is noticeably sharper than the old one (the EF 2X II).
\nCanon EOS-1D Mark IV professional digital camera body.<\/a> The very best professional digital camera body that I have ever used.. <\/p>\n
