1DMII tries Candaba wetlands

The skies have been overcast for almost a month now, but this did not prevent me from trying the 1DM2 at Candaba fliers. For the first time ever, I shot RAW 100%. The AF prowess of the 1DMII is amazing - all I had to do is to aim it at fliers, half-press, and keep the bead on the bird, and focus locks on almost as if it has a mind of its own. The 20D, now serving as my second body, didn't do too bad either.
