Sorry about the grain, I had to turn the ISO up to get fast enough shutter speeds! I'm going camera shopping after Christmas, so watch this space... (And I've decided what it's going to be, finally: Canon EOS 50D and I'll spend the difference between that - already down to £850 from £1250 - and what I would have spent on a 5DMkII on a 100-400 IS L lens.)

Particularly like the Curlew.

50D and 100 - 400, seems like a good plan.

Lovely photos, I'll look forward to seeing the ones with the new camera. :)

Hm, the sujets ar enice, but the quality is indeed not too hip! What did you shoot it with?

You will be happy with a new 5D and a 100-400L, I shoot with this combo myself. Although I have to say that the lens is something that you will have to get used with its different zoom movement. Other than that a cracking piece of glas!

EOS 300D (only 6.3MP and 2nd hand when I bought it) with a Sigma 100-300mm. Really looking forward to upgrading!

I am sure you will have some good fun with the new gear! ;)
