What a fantastic shot! Do you mind sharing the particulars, the lens-settings & such? #1435926Mike Crosby January 12, 2012
Hi Leslie, thanks for your kind words, always appreciated! I posted that I took this with my Canon 40D (my current camera), but when I went back to look at the details, I realized I actually took it with my 20D. I used a 300 mm lens, set at f/4. The light was low so I used 400 ISO. Hopefully this helps, if you have any further questions, just let me know! : ) #9916847Linda A. Braddock February 05, 2012
