    I think the psychology experts are going to have a new symptom to study. It's called lens envy. Forget Frued and that penis envy crap. I want a big telephoto L glass! I need it. I'm not whole without it!

    Ian looks like a nice guy. What's he doing hanging out with you and Steve? eek7.gif

    How come its always raining when you shoot? Now that i recall it it rained alot when I shot with you too. I'm beginning to see a trend here.

    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!"

    Nice set Andy

    For a guy that doesn't do a lot of "nature" work you sure have a knack fo it. I think it goes to show that a good photographer can photograph whatever subjects they choose.

    You, Harry, Steve and Ian (and others) just keep raisin the bar.

    I like your take on psychology, Khaos. Who says size doesn't matter. The only thing good about a short lens is it is easier to find the bird with it. The fact that it is only the size of a dust spot is what causes the envy.......

    Andy, I like your BIF and BOW (bird on water). Also like the photo of BWC (birder with camera).

    You all check out my last birds in flight thread. I just put it on top, so it should be on this page, or the next one. I am prouder of those than previous.

    Nice shot! The egret!....just beautiful! ...other shots are really good too.
    ian looks like he's just played a joke on someone and is hiding behind his lense watching.......

    hey Andy, your not planning on bringing rain out to Yosemite with you are you?

    If what Harry is saying is true, I better go practice more "rain shots"
    .........let us know, I'd like to be prepared. : :):
