Well, it's been a week since I last took their picture.

They grow up so fast. :) I reckon they will be flying by next weekend so this is/was my last attempt at shooting them in the nest.

I borrowed a friends 70-200L 2.8 IS and while it was nice to use this glass I need some more time to get to know it better.
I shot with many combos of settings but I think I still needed to stop down even more. While the histogram was lumped up to the dark side the primary subject still seems to be over baked. The last set I took seemed much better in terms of exposure for whatever reason. Was using a 28-135 IS last time. This batch was taken at the same time of the day but with the 70-200L IS. Light seemed more harsh today or more than likely I could have compensated better.

Nonetheless here's the chicks...

#1 - f/8 1/800 iso 400

#2 - f/11 1/250 iso 200
