Not so pretty Duck :D

And a most dangerous species. Not only do they chase the birdies away with their big white lenses, they fall asleep at the viewfinder :rofl :lol4 :bad

    Ewwwwwwwww purdy white lens. You know...the good guys wear white..right? rolleyes1.gif How 'bout borrowing that lens and mailing it to me for a while? ne_nau.gif:D I would really like one of those purdy white stormtrooper Star Wars lenses. thumb.gif

    Some nice shots, Ben. Oh...and that Canon user isn't asleep at the viewfinder. He just doesn't need to look at his subject...with such a fancy auto focusing camera. :uhoh rolleyes1.gif

    I want my 400mm f/2.8 "L" glass...NOW!!!! clap.gif

    Cheers

    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!"

    I had lots on comments on the last shot of the white lens user but I'm trying to clean up my image and be nice to Canonites. I did notice a pineapple stain on the lens though.

    I've been called a lot of mean and nasty things, but a NATURALIST??? I tell you after reading these posts, i guess the gloves are off. If it wasn't for me the only thing those NIKON guys would have shot is the inside of there lens cap!!! And i'm blind in one eye and can't see out of the other. See ya at the POND.
