Hello, I'm a newbie on this site. I know a few guys that have posting here for years and they talked me into posting some of my images over here. It seems like a good group of people and I'm looking forward to learning from the talent that resides here. This is an image from late last summer.

Nikon D200 - Nikkor 300mm F/2.8
F/9 ~ ISO 320 ~ -1/3 EV ~ No flash ~

    It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.

    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!"

    Don't Say That, He'll flood the place with humming birds shots.

    Good to have another Minnesotan on Dgrin. (even if it is you):D

    And for the record, I've know Mike for a couple of years.
    He's a great photographer. Just think how good he could be if he used Canon equipment and shot JPGs. mwink.gif
