It was such a beautiful day that I had to get out to shoot some images.


Nikon D3s - Nikon 70-200 vII - Nikon 2x vIII (It still amazes me how dog-on sharp this lens/TC combo is)


Silverback

    I've always maintained that if you have great subjects to shoot, even a hack like me can do a decent job rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks for looking Tom!

    Hi Mary!

    He does have great eyes. I've got several shots of him, and he's a good model. Several different facial expressions.

    Thanks for looking!
