All:
For some time, I've been trying to get a decent shot of a "Common
Loon". However, they usually stay far enough from shore that even
with big glass, they're hard to capture.
Yesterday, a friend was visiting from Alberta, and we went fishing,
on Face Lake. Well, actually he went fishing ... I tagged along with
a camera. Towards dusk, a Loon finally started to swim near us. The
light was fading, and he was in the shadows, so the shot lacks a
"brilliance" that I'd like to see. OTOH, his diving for dinner gave
his head a decoration not always seen and the colouration is marvelous.
So, it's not the "perfect shot", but it's the best I've been able to
muster, so far. And, not bad for a 200mm + 2x, hand held from a 14"
aluminum boat!

Teckie stuff: LeiCanon 30D w/80~200/f4 Vario + 2x converter ... hand
held from a 14' (4.25 meter) aluminum boat. ISO 800 and underexposed by 1 stop.
Comments, criticisms appreciated, as always.
Thanks for looking. :-)
