trying to get used to the 400mm. i missed a few near shots because i was too close, but i think i got many others that i would have missed with my 200. suggestions appreciatedhttp://dgrin.com/images/smilies/thumb.gif

Great set Jeff. The double pelicans is a very cool comp. And the egret before the bunny is stunning. Great light in that one.:thumb

Cool shots! Looks like an overcast sky gave you good even lighting. They look really sharp. Seems it takes some getting used to when stepping from 200 mm to 400 mm and with no zoom adjustment you probably feel different set of constraints....

thanks erich. yeah, i do feel its going to take awhile to get used to, but it sure is fun trying. overcast helped on most shots, but i found my shots wiuth the birds in flight a bit noisy against the gray. of course, this was after cropping and sharpening...so there could easily be a glitch there.

thanks benhttp://dgrin.com/images/smilies/thumb.gif the shot of the bunny was for my wife. i think she really liked it to until we decided there was a tick on the right side of the little dude's face (our left)http://dgrin.com/images/smilies/uhoh2.gif
