David - for most of my BIF photos, I use the Canon 400mm F5.6L on either a 40D or 7D. I generally shoot at 1/1600 sec, F5.6 and ISO400 although I may change this up or down by 1 to 1 ½ stops depending on time of day, background and the direction of the light.

Thanks. That lens is on my shopping list (to go on my 400D). I can't afford anything bigger so it's great to see what can be done with that gear. When my shots don't turn out so good I'll only have myself to blame.
