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!"

    He was caught, that's for sure. That lousy GBH didn't like having his pic taken so he flew to the other sid eof the pond outside the range of the 500mm. I quickly popped the TC on but in taht time the GBH sqalloed his catch so no pic of the gulp. :cry

    Thanks Al. I have some shots with the feet but then the head is right against the top of the frame, one of the disadvantages of a prime. I was on top of a dike shooting down so I couldn't move closer or further away w/o losing the optimal angle. Having to choose I kept the head and lost the feet.

    I am afraid so Gus. Once you get that 400 back there will be no stopping you. :D

    That fish was an ugly sicker.

    Thanks Ben. The GBH was more than happy to eat him before he got too big. :D

    Thanks Jeff. I never got a really good luck at the fish but I would guess that it was a catfish.

    Hi Mike,

    Thanks for the kind words. I never got a really good look at the fish but I think its a catfish. They are the least of your problems if you want a swim. I would be concerned with the gators and snakes myself.
