"All In" No Going Back Now

I'm just a hobbiest. Its been my hobby since high school 1975.

I have shot everything from weddings, birding, sports, travel, family.

I was that sports Dad that had the good camera and took great pictures of your son or daughter and gave then to you for free, Or that Uncle that took great candids at family events and sent then to you. Or the guy you travel with that takes great pictures so you don't have to.

Anyways, I'm really enjoying this new format. There is definitely some shortcoming to this system but none that cant be worked around or out.

The Panny 100-300 I just bought on impulse when my local shop all of a sudden had a used one in the display case. I don't think it will every match the Nikon 300 AFS F4 but it will do.

Here are a couple of shots I snapped this morning of some finch outside our Family room window. The birds where about 4 to 5 feet away shot through dirty glass and wood shutters.Not great but pretty good.
