I went down to the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine, Florida, for the annual show that is put on by the nesting "waders"

    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!"

    Excellent set Bob. You did a good job with the backgrounds.

    Thanks to you Harry. I was thinking of your advice about the backgrounds constantly. I owe you one sir!
    You got some new glass didn't you?
    Dan ... Yes I did and a new camera body (well the body was lightly used)
    Canon 1D MarkIII and a Canon 500mm f/4. Santa brought them. I am sure that I was not that good last year! rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks artic, Stephen, htr and kdog. I appreciate the comments.

    I did take a few gator photos, mostly when the bird action slowed down.

    Ric .... We need to work our schedules to be at the Alligator Farm together next spring.

    I may have to get that lens Bob. All the great wildlife shots I see are with the 500.
