I took this picture at the Photokina 2008 event. They had a demonstration with eagles flying from one podium to the next. It's a panning shot, pretty difficult considering it was taken with a telephoto from the crowd, and yeah.. the subject was flying! The Canon 70-200 is an excellent lens considering the Canon EOS 5D has a mediocre AF speed - the 5D mark II isn't an improvement though - this is my main problem with the successor of the 5D which i crave anyway. I took very nice shots with the lens, including sports (soccer, from the outskirts of the field) - though i would really recommend a smaller sensor or a longer lens.
