Jerry Pogue started wildlife photography at the age of 62. He learned as much as he could from photo web sites and the determination to succeed in taking quality photos. As of this moment he is using a Canon 40D & 300mm f4 is L lens w/1.4 extender when photographing still or in-flight shots. He states that the canon 400mm 5.6 is probably a little faster also a little sharper but doesn't have image stabilization and is 32mm shorter. He contends that a little more technique and practice will make up the difference plus adding more reach. Keep the sun at your back. Send all photo inquiries to vjpogue@mind.net.
