Was on vacation - stayed at Atlantis on Paradise Island. The place is awesome. I highly recommend it if you get a chance to go. One lagoon after another. Not too many birds here tho. Here are some of my favorite shots. Used my 18-200 Tamron lens on all these (really do not like this lens).

    Good shots under very challenging conditions. I used to shoot with the Tamron 28-300 so I feel your pain.

    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!"

    Good ones, Lisa.:D

    I'm not positive (pre-coffee lazy to try) but I think if you do a little tone curve on just the blue channel you might get rid of the "aquarium haze".

    I like these places too.

    Thanks Dick. It 's the first time I got a fish swimming the trees. The photo ops at this place were endless.

    Thanks Awais - what a nice complement.

    I was not prepared to take this shot - it kinda happened in front of me as I was (impatiently) wait for these folks to move along rolleyes1.gif Then the shot appeared and I had to almost shoot from the hip. Even tho it's not rock steady, I still like the effect, I thought it conveyed a sense of awe.
