I haven't posted much lately, but now that I have new toys I finally made it out Sunday (the weather gave us all a break here)

I know the usual first post with a new lens or camera is a duck, I decided to change it up a bit. Sandhill Crane in flight from the Hiwassee Rufuge in Meigs Coutny, Tennessee. There are many more and I will post a few when I get thru the processing.

Canon 1D MarkIII and Canon 500mm f/4

    Thanks for the comment Ric .... Sorry about the cold and snow in your neck of the woods. I will be down in Harry's neighborhood at New Year's!

    Dan .... Hey! I resemble that remark! I don't know how much the new gear will help, but I am having a great time with it. :ivar

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
