    First... nicely done, and HH? That's a great example of what a little IS can do.
    Question.... is that a crop or a FF image?

    If I wasn't all PUI, I'd go out with a larger lens. Maybe I will...is it still
    cloudy out?

    Thank you. Yes, HH. At 3.2#, I'm not sure I'd call it "little," but yes -- IS is amazing. I'm still fighting the temptation to release the shutter prior to the image stabilizing. But a little patience pays big dividends.

    100% crop.

    If I wasn't all PUI, I probably wouldn't have gone out to snap it. lol3.gif

    second starts. I need to be in LG for that.

    Very cool shot. It would have been a lot nicer if you could have put an egret in there someplace. rolleyes1.gif

    Not really all that remote. I'm in a valley about 10 miles south of downtown SJ. Far enough that there's not that much light pollution.

    That is an egret?

    On this side of the states, they are white. Maybe it is a southern thing.

    Thanks MHJS, waxy, ginger, and nir. Think KPOTD will like it? :cry

    Ginger, it's a reddish egret (or something) that I snicked from one of Harry's posts. He'll be able to tell you exactly what it is. I think it's fairly rare, but as we all know, when harry shows up with his egret attractant, they mob him like a bunch of whackos on jacko.

    great shot dude, makes me yearn for a dslr even more. this s50, while great for general shooting is still just a point and click camera and has its limitations.
