  1. John, these really are the most amazing photographs of Marsh Harriers. I am in awe of your skills in capturing such amazing images.
    I know you use a 1D mkIV but what lens are you using?
    I am just starting out on DSLR photography, some way to go before I get images of this quality but any advice would be very welcome.

    John my Lens is a Canon 500mm F4, that's a very expensive lens, so a Canon 400mm F5.6 prime lens would be a very good lens to start with together with a Canon 7D, I hope this helps

  3. Thanks a lot John, it does help - I wish I could afford the 500mm but I do have the opportunity to buy the 400 you mentioned from a reliable source so maybe that will be my starting point. At present I have a Sigma 170-500 APO which isn't bad but I know a prime lens of the quality that Canon offer would be the correct way to go forward. I'm hoping to upgrade to a Canon7D soon, at present I'm using a 40D.
    Keep up this great blog, I always look forward to seeing where you've been and the superb photographs you present!
    Regards
    Chris
