Shot this guy the other day. Lives at the Marina. Tried like the dickens to get some light on his eye, but he wouldn't cooperate. Just gave me this quick shot, well the machine gun got off about 10 shots before he dived. This was only slightly acceptable, I think :dunno

    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!"

    Thx for the welcome back Ben :D The last month has been rough. My MIL took ill, mid-June and passed away on the 27th. On July 8th we left for 12 days to attend a previously planned 100+ person Cavigliano reunion in NY clap.gif It feels so good to be back among all my shootin' buddies thumb.gif Not to mention being back in dry heat instead of that gawd awful East Coast humidity :uhoh

    So how are you liking the D2H? It sure sounds like one nice camera. I guess the only question is, can it do bird butts (my favorite subject) as well as your old camera? lol3.gif J/K I hope you are enjoying the heck out of it thumb.gif
