    Thanks Maestro.

    This batch isn't to bad, but they did need a little more post work done to them. (except for the last shot, that was good from the camera)

    Thanks Skippy.

    I have way too many lenses that overlap. So one of them needs to go.

    Sigma 80-400os
    Canon 28-300is
    Canon 70-300is
    Canon 400L f5.6
    I could even count the Tamron 18-200 in this group. But I won't.:D

    The 28-300 and the 400L are mine, Kate will be using the 70-300 on the XT in Glacier and Yellowstone. (plus other trips)

    After I bought every one of those lenses I'd say, "I should sell a couple of lenses." Well, I think the time is about here.

    Did I mention that I have 3 Canon kit lenses. Time to do some closet cleaning.

    Wow! beautiful shots!! Seeing those types of pictures coming out of the XTi makes me happy because I just bought that camera, however it makes me sad because I know that the lens was the primary reason you were able to get those shots!! That is a georgous lens. I don't suppose you'd accept a "rent to own" when you decide to sell it?!? Lol deal.gif

    Great shots Dave. Always nice to see some great eagle shots. Did the one diving get his fish?

    Thanks everyone.

    I'm not really into that "rent to own" thing. :D

    The eagle looking like he's heading for a meal is really just landing on some ice.

    One more.
