Escape from the BACKYARD!!!!

[Osprey Whisperer]

I hope you poker playin' machine gunning old guys are sitting down. :huh :rofl :D

Took my own machine gun out and ventured past the confines of the backyard to the local marina. Took some pelicans in flight shots over the weekend. Wow...I can't believe there are birds outside my backyard. :scratch :thumb :clap These will probably have to hold me over until next week. :dunno :cry Will be pretty busy the next few days. I could have used one of those dreaded tele-converters I've heard so much about. :rofl Actually that 400mm f/2.8 would have been nice. Had to use a relatively high ISO and do some cropping to get these birds to fill the frame. This 200mm is a bit "short" at times. I guess I could have waded out in the water to get a bit closer. :thumb

Cheers

Nice Series both of the PIF's and the Closer ups. The second series is a bit nicer though.
