Merry Christmas, Everyone!

I noticed that I just passed 10 years on the forum, beginning with a Canon G1 in 2001 before going on to the G2, G9, Pro 1, Sigma DP2 and the Canon 5D … which is what this bulbul was shot with.

We feed them on the terrace and with a tripod, a 135mm lens, a remote shutter release with 10 meters of cable, and a little luck, this was the result. He’s tossing a big bread crumb into the air to make it easier to gulp – like a kid throws a marshmallow into the air to catch in his mouth.

I suppose this card should be in the 5D forum, but my heart will always be in Canon Talk, despite the fact I haven’t done much talking lately. Just wanted to wish you all a lovely Christmas and a great New Year – all year long.

Sorry for the big size – it’s the fault of the bread crumb. If you don’t see that, half the charm is gone. The only Photoshopped item is the hat.

Cheers,
Don

P.S. I still have two Canon G1s, both for infrared; two G9s; and two Pro1s, one infrared and one color -- and they all work perfectly.
