Took the pic in may on my way to Anchorage from Tok. I like it. not too often you get to see this.

Wow, that is a cool and cute bird. Cool pictures Paul!

Gotta love the 20D, with the resolution to be able to crop and zoom in like that! Awesome!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks!

It simply amazes me that this thing will take pictures that good. Most of my 35mm shots just plane stunk!! i've been taking more and better pictures since i aquired the 20D. still no luck with the B&W yet though. Still trying. i'll get a good one eventually.

I had some fun with the black and white thing. It's a whole different ball of wax, though. I took this one earlier in the month. The darn thing was probably 600 yards away, and I can still crop to this. (with my Rebel)

Way cool! i can't believe that i waited as long as i did to go digital!

We had some snow up high last night. If it's lingers till tomorow i'm going to give the B & W thing a go again.

I haven't ventured into the realm of using the filters. It is my understanding that you can program what filter effect you want on the b and w pics (blue, red) for better contrast. Looking forward to your "lessons." <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

No lesson today i'm afraid. I left the battery charging at home. Got it in the camera now. But the rut's starting to kick in arround here, i might need to put a hold on the photo's until after the rut<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
