Wildwood Park - Test Images with the Canon 7D Mark II
My wife surprised me with an early Christmas present and purchased the recently released Canon 7D Mark II (7DMII) to replace my aging Canon 50D. The 7DMII is a significant upgrade over the 6 year old 50D. I have a little over 3 months to get used to the 7DMII before baseball season begins so I took it to Wildwood Park and Nature Center in Harrisburg Pa for a test drive. While I don't take a lot of wildlife and landscape images I was hoping to catch some birds in flight (BIF) to test the tracking and 10 frames per second and to capture some nature scenes to get a general feel for how the camera handles.
Here are a few of the images. You can check out the other images in the gallery: http://www.wbentzelphotography.com/p89480338

5. Duck with Reflection - Canon 7D Mark II | Canon 300 f/4 L | 1/800 | f/4 |ISO 100
6. Blue Heron with it's tongue out - Canon 7D Mark II | Canon 300 f/4 with a 1.4X TC | 1/800 | f/5.6 | ISO 200
Once I got used to the feel of the camera and adjusted some settings I started to get better results. Overall I was pleased with the first trip out with the 7DMII and look forward to spring when baseball returns.
Thanks for looking
