    Thanks Jill! A lot less wind, so it's easier to shoot above life size and get the compositions that I want... mwink.gif

    Thanks Skippy! I switched to a carbon fiber monopod. Not as versatile as the shoulder stock that I was using, but at 3x it's almost a must to get the camera as still as possible (since I don't crop on the PC the composition has to be good in the view finder).
