Hi All, I went down to southern Ohio last weekend for a warbler tune up before the first big wave arrives at Magee Marsh. The weather was for the most part miserable: downpours, hail, lightning, and strong winds with occasional peaks at the sun. For the drive home, what else but snow!

The 20D performed well despite various attrocities it has faced in the few months I have owned it. It is however in for service now so as to be ready for May!

20D, 500mm IS, 1.4xII, 550ex with Better Beamer and Quantum Turbo

1/500 sec, f/8
Mode: Manual
Metering: Evaluative
ISO: 400
AF mode: One-shot AF
Drive: Continuous: frame 1
White balance: Auto
Flash: External E-TTL High speed sync
Flash exp comp: -1 1/3

Thanks for looking and good shooting to all!

BZ

BZ,

He's certainly belting out a tune. Great image. I hope you do not attract that kind of weather when I'm up at MM.

Jim
Enjoy viewing

Beautiful job.....I knew that you'd come away with some keepers despite the lousy weather. Here's hoping that Magee Marsh will be good this year.....with some decent weather as well.
