Perfect pose. Always looking for just this moment with the wings. Nice.

WWCC, White House Custom Color. Amazing professional lab with great prices (especially if you can wait for one of the many sales) and perfect color correction. I do not sell my photos but I now have many large prints. I have never had an issue with them. Google the lab.

Just replaced joystick on 5d iii. Part was $7.25 on Amazon. Followed repair video on YouTube. Very easy and effective. I admit that I was very careful with the small screws. Less than an hour and saved a lot of money.

When shooting, assuming you are using your exposure point, put your exposure/focal point directly on the brightest part of the scene, so the most white part of the animal that you can see. The metering will then be set for that. This is, of course, difficult to do when shooting wildlife (and I do shoot wildlife). However, with practice you can get pretty fast with changing the exposure point. If you leave it in the center I believe you will need to meter as others have said. Also, remember that animals are three-dimensional and there will be times when you just cannot get all of the white to work out just the way you. Plus, processing each individual area will help to correct some issues if the white is not completely blown out.

On my recent trip to Galapagos I ended up only using a 28-300L. I do not recommend changing lens on the islands due to sand and wind. Almost everything I wanted to shoot was in the 28 to 250mm range. We were very close to most of the wildlife and 28 to 100 was very common. If we go again I will only take the 28-300. Our weather was mostly sunny, normal in the islands, and f-stops of around 8 with shutter speeds over 1 /250 and ISO 100 were my standard. I don't know how sharp the Tamron would be but the Canon was perfect. I would use the Tamron or rent the Canon version. Even if you take only the 24-105 you will have the trip of a lifetime. Don't worry about the photography - the place is littered with amazing things to shoot. BTW I ended up putting the camera in a very large plastic bag that sealed for the Zodiac trips to the islands. Left the waterproof backpack on the ship.

Spectacular photo. Shows me how clouds can add visual interest, even if the subject is the real focus. Nice work.

Nice choice to include the building ruins. This photo has a lot of character and visual interest.

Spectacular shots. Do you know when the colors will peak? We are on a cruise in the area near Quebec City on October 24. Hope to get shots as nice as yours.

The shot appears to be incredibly sharp. I was not sure that a 2x converter would be that sharp. Great work. May pick up the 1.4x for my 100-400 based your results.

Thank you for considering this issue. I will set up the tripod today and try your suggestion. I will also try 1/60 to see if it fixes the problem. I have done this work at 1/200 and was at a loss until I posted here. Thank you again. I will post the results.

Tried 1/160, which is usually acceptable. Also as low as 1/120 with no change. Works normally without studio flash. Must be sync problem.

This soft black band appeared on the top with landscape and side with portrait view. I can generate the black band caused by the incorrect shutter speed. I don't think this is the problem. That band is on the bottom of the photo. I am using a Canon 5d III, 24-104 and 70-200, both with same band. I changed the octobox by rotating it 180 degrees and by moving the location. I changed the shutter speed (normal is 1/200 for sync) and the iso and the aperture. I changed the natural light entering the room as well as the strength of the alien bee 400W light. Moving the light to many positions does not change the band. Using PocketWizards for transmit and receive. New batteries in wizards. Just wanted to throw this out before sending the camera to Canon. The under exposed subject is intentional. The band is lighter but still there with correct exposure.
