Howdy! And a couple of shots...

Cato

Just joined Dgrin a few days ago, although I have been a SmugMug user for almost a year. I'm very much the neophyte DSLR user... can't bear to refer to myself as a "photographer". :dunno

Figured I'd join all the fun and post a trio of (fairly tame) wildlife shots, any advice and/or criticism much appreciated.

All shot with Pentax K100D, Tamron 70-300mm lens, almost no cropping.

Hmm, I still need to figure out the picture link function, yet...

Cato

Let's see if I did this right...

I really like that vulture (??) shot, but a closer crop or bigger picture would be nice.

Cato

Thank you for the kind words. Yup, its a turkey vulture - there's a committee of a couple dozen who leave nearby. Here's a tighter crop, almost 100%. Not much detail, I'm afraid.

Welcome

Fine job. And don't sweat the neophyte stuff, I've been at this for years and I'll never be as good as some of the guys out here. You did a great job, keep up the good work.
