First bif with 7D.

[coopers]

Managed to get out for a few hrs after work this afternoon and try out my new 7D,was pleased with the performance using my 400mm 5.6.
Just a Gull in flight but was well pleased with the focusing capabilities.

Good shot, maybe a little more space for the bird to fly in for the purists though.

Bodes well - happy new 7D!

Great shot, exposure is spot on.
What settings did you use? I am asking as I use the same body and lens combo, but I am struggling with exposure for BIF.
