I was out yesterday. Enjoying some nice light and Nikon Blues.
Along with a fair amount of activity

When out of the Sky came the infamous Canon Goon Squad!!
You've heard about these guys right??
Specialy trained D's sent out by the Canon World Order to crap all
Nikon lenses WHITE!!
How do I know, well lets see.........30D, 5D, 1DMKsomething or other....
I rest my case.
Well the MachineGun did NikonLand proud and held her own.
The Goons missed there mark, but swore to return.
Were ready for em!!
And hear they are so can identify them in your own pursuits

That's my Story and I'm........you know :ivar :ivar

    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!"

    Goon
    hey hey HEY NOW!!!! That's enough CANON Bashing. I just bought one those 1DMark something or anothers. With a 10D and 20D left over I can arm another couple of GOONS. Now with 8.5 fames a second and a 300 2.8 I can match your machine gun. Now if only those HORSE DOCTOR'S at Kaiser, would fix my eyes. Well blind in one eye can't see out of the other i'll still take on that NIKON. Oh and the third shot is very nice. Pick on you later John

    Ben, are you sure these were not impostors? The "D" might just stand for plain old DUCK :D
    If they were the real thing, you might have been a convert by now eek7.gifrolleyes1.gif
    Anyway, terrific captures as usual.
