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!"

    Nicely done Harry. Quite the variety here. I'm just wondering where are the osprey shots? *-) Keep 'em coming.

    I love these, Harry. The wood stork is so sharp even with the TC! And I had to read your caption to figure out what that was on the grebe--its foot! Also, it is really nice to see the beautiful sunrise photos showing the environment where these are shot, for those of us who have never been to the Vierra wetlands. Best, Pam

    Hi Harry
    What a treat as always. The second shot a 500 with a 1.7tc. I have a 50 - 500 Bigma but I am unable to turn out shots like the one you have taken.
    Cheers

    Thanks Mike but after your osprey images I just don't have any in the same league.

    Thanks Joel. I am very, very happy with the 200-400. It gives me much more flexibility than I had when I shot mainly with primes.

    Great bird shots, I'm jealous. I live in north jersey, pretty close to Manhattan, and I swear we have the least interesting birds in the world here. 90% of them are geese, pigeons and sparrows hanging around trash cans for scraps.

    Thanks Bob, the 500mm I use costs around 8 times the price of a Bigma so you have to take that into consideration.

    Thanks Glenn, when I get up in the AM and see that ground mist coming up I grab my gear and rush down to the wetlands.
