Maybe I will be able to get some "head on" shots w my new lens. I haven't gotten one yet. What kills me is how clear they look in the view finder. Is there a lag there, where I see in the viewfinder, then the shutter actually does it's thing after the AF has been set? Just a thought. And remember I have Nikon stuff, so we are not talking the same stuff here.
Ben, you pulled it off beautifully.
And you have not told us what article you read. I would love to read it. Is it in a new mag, an old one, a bk, online????
Killer shots, to die for. (Sounds like war, doesn't it.)
But very good shooting and good water color. I really should go to the beach. No blue sky to reflect right now, and we are supposed to get more rain right through next week. Not showers, not temp thunderstorms, RAIN.
Please tell me what you read.........

Don't mind me poking my nose in here. Ben, those are really great shots. Focus is spot on. I'm still learning how to use my long lens and doing badly at that. So, I'm just observing right now. I hope to get a good bird shot one day. You're an inspiration.
