Oh....and I need your camera too. I don't think it will fit on my 20D.

Dang birds are always so far away! :bash

    That's a very good capture Rick. The 500mm won't work though. As soon as the birds see it they move further away. :D

    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!"

    Damn birds are smart. They know when I change the al servo thing, too. They sit, so I change it so I can compose/recompose, then they fly. They are probably whistling "bye bye birdie" or something.

    Don't know why I can spend hours playing head games with the birds, but I can't settle my brain down to learn LAB colors post stuff.

    Ric, that is a good bird. And a nice photo, too.

    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    I guess that means NO ! :cry

    I do see your point though....everything is relative....it's the human condition.nod.gif

    I have a whole sequence of this GBH coming in for a landing. The 75-300IS is just way to soft at 300. It was a nice experience anyway. :D
