    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!"

    Nice shot, Ben!

    Did Jeff shoot with you?

    A comparison would be interesting.

    That is really cool!

    Not that I would want the bees, but the focusing is fantastic!

    Instead of replying to each one this time I thought I'd just throw you guys a second shot. Felt bad my 1st wasn't a great BIF or something similar. Soooo I recruit Maggie for one, best bird I know anyway :D

    I can tell right away the difference between my FZ and D2hs, well no comparison really. The depth of color/contrast jumps right out at ya. Detail in maggies beak is right on. But I did notice that the FZ allowed me to get a little lazy with shutter speed due to IS, so I got to remember that old addage shutter speed = focal length or faster

    I'm diggin' the wasps nest shot.

    When I was about 8, we walked along Feather River. Stopping every now and
    again to fish. It's where I learned to fly fish. But that's beside the point. I
    stepped in a wasp's nest and whoaholycow! Got few stings out of that one.
    And a lesson I'll never forget :D

    I was going to share that smile, but when I turned my new camera towards myself it shut itself off and would not come on till I promised not to do that again rolleyes1.gif :lol, isn't this new tech getting smarter and smarter ?? :D

    Besides Dr. Frankie says I should wait till scars heal rolleyes1.gif

    1st fly fishing very cool, never done it myself, have been a reg type fisher guy though you know the worm thing. But always liked watching the way you whip that pole and delicately drop your fly in a likely spot and coax Mr. fish to bite.
    You like the wasp piccie, good cause there will be more to come. I've decided to extend their lease for a bit and see if I can't do better then the one I posted here :D
