    That was a good capture Nick. You shouldn't feel inadequate because of the lenses, There's no need for that when you just as easily feel inadequate because you were shooting with a Canon. :lol6

    Gitzo was the favorite, a number of us were using the carbon fiber 1325. The shooters were the attraction for me because I see the birds everyday. :D
