Well I just finally got my 5d and decided to take it out for a lil -*test*-('") drive this past weekend and try to catch the sunrise with it. I am going to seriously need to toy with this cam to get to the point where I feel comfortable with it. Anyways, shot this at Cherry Creel State Park outside Denver. What I missed was the 2 Eagles perched high in the tree on the right, which my girlfriend noticed last night. They can barely be seen in the full size of this shot, and to think I now have a lens that could have gotten them ...sigh....spose I will just have to be aware of my surroundings a tad more from now on as I have never done bird shots before.

Minolta 5d
18-200 DT lens
iso 100
f 5.6
1/500

This is a really beautiful shot. I love the colours.

Why thanks kindly! I just froze my keester off! lol

Looks like you're off to a good start, despite missing the Eagles.

For a second there I thought you were talking about the Canon 5D, with a full-frame aspect ratio. I was about to be really jellous. But that's probably a bit pricey for both you and I.

heh ya pricey and a downpayment for a Phase One D-back lol Ya those Eagles sure eluded me, I am gonna have to start watching and looking for birds also
