Certainly the greatest "undiscovered" nature photographer of my generation - at least to my knowledge. And his humility was just as great as his talent. You couldn't seek inspiration in a better...

You can return a lens.

The breast feathers of night herons are incredibly reflective - note the green reflections in #1 and #2. In general these shots look a little washed out - which Picture Control are you using? They...

But perhaps this photo doesn't fit your Procrustean bed?

Ron Reznik used a three fingered grip on the barrel, leaving the index finger raised and ready to touch up focus.

Ray is speaking from experience. I too find the 300 f2.8 VR easier to handhold, although I have an unusual technique - I hold it by the Kirk foot and just do an arm curl to bring it to my eye.  The...

As a DX proponent, I like the concept. I'm thinking this lens might really cook with a D7100. However, as I'm mostly a wildlife shooter I think my 17-50 f2.8 Tamron screwdriver may be "good enough".

In my D300 and D300s I use a custom AWB in my shooting menu I call "RED". It is A-B "B2", G-M "0". The beauty is it works for monochromatic red and red-shifted light. If you see the red channel...

Very dramatic Tony. By the way, ISO 250 seems to really work for me: nice clean shadows, no need for any NR, tons of DR.

About the grass I mean!

I turned on compatibility mode for dpreview...then turned it off...and now Opanda works...for now!

I found the autofocus a little sluggish for birds in flight even with a bare 300 f2.8 VR in 1.3x crop mode. By the way, I get closer to 3 fps after the buffer is full in 12 bit lossless after the...

It causes some viewing problems! Oh Microsoft!

Looks like something to do with the server settings to me. Anyway, I don't see the menu item you're talking about in the advanced settings for IE8.

With or without a TC-14E. Did you ever check out Rick Moran's stuff in wildlife? If I lived in Florida like he does - lots of light and large birds - this might be the only lens I'd ever need....

$1185 for the 70-200 f4, $1190 for the 300 f4. Henry's would match either price.

Even on a pro camera like the F5 or D2X it was damned slow.
