    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!"

    Thank you Tomas, and others, it was a joy to share my fantastic moments with the Eagles....a time I shall never forget. Yes, these were shot with a D70 mounted with an 80-200 mm 2.8 lens, hand held. Do I give lessons? Heavens no, I need all the lessons, and help I can get myself.

    I like "wow", "awesome", and all the kind words; thank you very much Saurora. I like all three of course, but maybe favor # 1 because he has such a determined look about him.

    O go ahead and be redundant, it feels good. Thanks Cookie. I don't have the AFS, but wish I did, however, I'm very happy with the lens I have in terms of quality. It has proved itself more than once. The tracking bothers me as well...you should see the ones that got away, but I think it's the way it is with that lens. With fast moving birds you just have to be right on the mark. And yes they were close, or else I could not have done so well.
