A few shots of some birds fishing while on a 2 week canoe trip in the BWCA ( http://www.bwca.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=maps.gmap&lat=47.91206&lon=-91.34139&zoom= ) in Northeastern Minnesota USA, one of the last frontiers in the continental USA. I didn't expect perfection while shooting handheld from a canoe in mostly 15-25 mph winds, but was satisfied with the images I brought back. Used D700 & D300S, Nikon 300 2.8 AFS (non VR) Nikon 70-200 VR-l, Nikon TC 1.7, Kenko TC 1.4. Most shots are birds with fish. I brought 6 batteries for the bodies and 16 AA's for the battery grip. Had no electric for trip but used all camera power judiciously and very limited playback. What would I do different next time? Lose the D300S as just too noisy over ISO 200 and crop resolution is very poor. I'll invest in a Nikon 200-400 VR and try the new nikon TC 20 III to see how it fares against my TC17 which I was happy with.
