Thanks Ben.

Thanks Alan. I've gotten some really sharp images with this lens when I get everything right. Pretty impressive for the money. And yeah, the colors on that guy are amazing.

I'm still having fun with my new Tamron 100-400. Yesterday I went with a group of photographers to the LA Zoo. I had a blast and captured some pleasing (for me) close ups I couldn't otherwise acheive without a longer lens. This Mandrill is quite colorful. I shot this through a cyclone fence but...

Very nice Kyle.

Thanks Anatoly. :-)

Thanks Eric. :-)

Thanks Brian.

Thank you Ben. I have not. This one was in the area and I actually shot him in a tree just a bit earlier. He took off after that and I didn't see him for a while until all of a sudden he was coming toward me with the catch of the day. I will probably learn a bit more about birds now that I...

Thanks guys. It will keep me going back for more. :-)

I was out again at Bolsa Chica ER today. The light was terribly harsh and my talent on the thin side. But I found this Osprey just on his way back from a fishing trip. Not as sharp as I would have liked but this was one of the sharpest. There was a crow who kept following the Opsprey wanting...

Thanks Joe!

Thank you. That's my current favorite too.

Thanks Jim. I'm gonna have to start making more trips there. It's fun when you have a sporting chance to capture something. :-)

Thanks Dan. Since yesterday I tried removing some noise and was surprised how well I could achieve that while still maintaining good sharpness and clarity on the bird.

Thanks again Alan. Here's the crop without the vignette.

Thanks Alan. No, the vignette was just like the dark ones, to draw your eye in to the center more. But in this case it obviously matched the subject color while contrasting the border around the subject (the water). Just something different that you don't usually see. Here is the photo before...

Thanks for the feedback Jim.

Thank you Ben. :-)

I finally purchased a birding lens. Nothing fancy but a Tamron 100-400 paired with a Nikon D7200. Something I can actually carry around and not hurt myself with it. The lens showed up Thursday, I was out Friday, Saturday, and Sunday practicing. Uh, I'm gonna need a lot more practice. LoL! But...
