I drag this one out at this time each year.

Sometimes you can get too close!

    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!"

    Thanks, Pam.

    Actually, I was going home from shooting at a local conservation area in my SUV with my GSP Winslow when I happened across this gal along the road. I had a 400mm lens with 1.4 TC attached....sooooo...I had a heck of a time with her being too close for focus. When I could get her though it made for a nice BG.

    Funny thing...I kept hearing what I thought was a motorcycle coming and looked for it many times until I realized it was Winslow's low growl over disapproval with the turkey being so near.
