Could someone please post some pictures of birds who like to go to night clubs, not birds of the feathered kind. Thank you.
 
BIF photos are alright...so long as they're not OOF. Anyone shoot a wedding with a 7D yet? I'm curious to see how it performs under one of the most pressure-packed situations for a pro/semi-pro photog.

My best as always.
 
Is it me, but most 7D owners posting within DPR seem to like birds...the boring feathered type. I was going to add that they should "get out more" , but clearly they are !
 
Can you post the the first 7D brick wall picture and make my day ?

If I see another flapping bird shot tonight I will go mad !!

I'm trying to shoot one now, but the 7D I'm using can't lock focus on the wall. And believe me, I tried all AF settings..... I mounted my 300D and it can lock focus without a problem. Should I return the camera?

:)

Thx Romy for bringing a laugh my way.. needed it and pray that things at home there are improviing. years ago we had a lil Cat 4 hurricane named hugo that flew into town ( 200 miles from the coast ) that ripped through our homes and our hearts, and i know what life is like after such. Hope all is well there and it probably should be me sending you the laugh but thanks just the same :)

PS I must be old because I love seeing frozen flapping wings. At least I can view those while at work!

Metro Manila was flooded by storm Ketsana last Sept. 26. Even as we have yet to clean up our flooded homes, typhoon Parma followed. It hit farther north and largely spared Metro Manila but it has lingered in that area for several days now, unleashing record-level rains.

Last night, several huge dams in the north (where I was born and raised) were forced to release massive quantities of water, and many provinces in the area is now being devastated by flooding as I type this. Thousands of people are being evacuated right now. Numerous reports of landslides are coming in. Power and communication are down, and many bridges leading there were washed away or are impassable, making aid and rescue very, very tough.

My parents are in the area and it took me hours to find a way to contact them.... luckily our ancestral home was spared and my old folks are ok. Many are not as lucky though and we'll find out the extent of the devastation in the coming days.

Natural calamities like these kinda bring a strange twist over my worries about the 7D's AF performance at BIFs with busy BG. :(

And best of luck to you and your family as well as everyone else in the affected areas.

My thoughts are with you all.

Keep us posted.

Take care, and look after your family. Sorry to hear about all the flooding.

If you see any BIF then send them my way to the UK for safety, all the 7D owners here will look after them.

Me, I have my shotgun ready aimed at the sky.........
 
Romy,

I often wonder why words that often see so powerful feel so empty when i read this news and wish i could find the right words to convey what I feel... just pray things go well as they can for everyone there... am glad to hear your parents are well and that you were able to contact them. Canot imagine the degree of calamity you are going through now.

As far as 7D AF and BIF, that is simply how our lives are and perhaps why nature gives us these horrible events to remind us that we are human and that we are at the least often fragile in a world we often feel so safe in. Simply no comparison of course between that and AF though the BIF and Af are things dear to your heart and not to be diminished in ay way.

Makes me think about the stress i'm fleing over what i perceive to be excessive ISO400 noise with my 7D... small tater there. My prayers and thoughts are going your way for you, your family and your country.
