Goose Goose ANHINGA

This silly bird was drying it's feathers atop a decoy. Thought it was kind of funny and wanted to share it with everyone.

Gives new meaning to a "wild ride". :huh

**please forgive the image quality...this is a scanned negative. ISO 400....and new dedicated film scanner. Still trying to figure out what I'm doing. Grainy...blurry...dusty...color off...yada yada yada. **

I have a Nikon FM2N (used to snap this anhinga) and 7 Nikkor AI/S mount lenses. I don't use them anymore I can't focus the manual focus lenses anymore. I really loved this gear. I suppose I can sell it all on Ebay...and then purchase a cheap 3rd party TC **jk** That darn Canon TC is almost $300..gheeezz.

I want the Canon EF 400mm f/2.8 "L".... NOW!!! You guys could pitch in and get it for my birthday (end of Sept.).

I was laughing. I am a nut....and shot a whole roll of this character (24 exp.). I need to dig up the negatives and scan them to see if there is anything worth printing/posting. I'm not sure I like this Minolta film scanner (yet). I guess it is...what it is. It was the el cheapo one...bottom of the box IIRC. I should have bought a good one considering all the thousands of negatives I have.

I wish I had sound with this pic...he/she? was making some great noise.
