I see it most every day I'm out birding during the nesting season. One thing though. It's also alligator mating season and a lot of them are too busy with that to consider eating chicks. Here's one...

I apoligize. I really shouldn't have cut you off so fast. I explained this once but maybe we didn't connect. I'll explain why what you're saying doesn't really show anything or add validity. You've...

I kind of like the gear listings, not the batteries and software so much. My only attempt at poking fun was listing my iPhone. ;-) The reason I like the gear listings is that when someone talks...

As I said, if you're not interested, I don't really care. Rinse and Repeat. The End.

Thank you for your kind words. No a UV filter is a fairly useless item these days. Even back in a lot of the film days, film emulsions have a component of UV filtering protection built in. Digital...

I do and mostly teasing you a bit. I saw the LOL in the equipment list then see the L glass as avatar and thought I'd poke a little bit of fun. Notice my LOL and winks. :-)

Don't worry, Barrie. I think we all know where you were going with this. Your intent was to answer the question without being overly pedantic in a way no beginner would really understand well. Take...

Yes, that's a very good and inexpensive prime lens.

Oh boy. You didn't understand one thing I said, then you came back with exactly what you said before, adding something you think I inplied but did not. I'm not sure you really want to understand...

Really. Go take a look and learn about it. Otherwise you're spouting around like any other tin horn, floorflusher. Your suggested method of testing is useless. If you used it and it works, great....

Green Herons (Butorides virescens) are a lot of fun and can be pretty secretive if they wish. One moment they are there and the next can be gone. I've followed a family of them that hang out at...

There are two lenses in those pictures. The largest is a Nikon 300 f/2.8 AFS VR. The Second one is a new Nikon 80-400 f/4.5-5.6 AFS VR. The big 300 f/2.8 VR now sells for somewhere close to $6000...

Thanks, Mark. It ain't so easy for me anymore either. You come visit me in Florida and I'll take you out there. LOL I do my best to make it back to where I parked my truck before dark. I promise....

Josh, who said a thing about fighting it out in a court of law? I know I didn't. The truth is that I'm not sure how I'd fight it, if it were me in that situation. I'm not, so I don't have to decide...

Why aren't they possible in Kentucky? Just curious.   Take a look at the large white egret speading her wings. One thing I tried to capture with the backlighting is the skeletal nature of the wing...

Well, thank you, my friend. I just got back from an afternoon on the back of a pond about fourty miles south of me. I've only finished one image so far from it, but I love the baby wading birds...

hahaha. good for you both. I love that we're having fun with birding on the forum and sharing experiences. It's a lot of fun. I couldn't join in because I was in back of some ponds about 40 miles...

Well its fun to claim people are fanbois and fun to ding the manufacturer. It's often the same thing in companies. The middle management hang around and complain about where they work. If you...

Is this your lens? I tried to look but you have nothing listed in gear or galleries nor any link to galleries. That image is hosted on SmugMug and I could have sworn I've seen it at least once...

Shaun, I hear what you're saying and I'm not saying you're wrong. Do you use Nikon gear and have personal experience though? I notice the L lens in your avatar. ;-) I have been Nikon since 1968 and...
