I have been trying to scratch enough pennies together for a decent telephoto for my bird photography for a long time, but convincing my wife to give me the go-ahead had yet to be futile.

When I saw your picture here I started thinking well maybe I should go for one of these now, and postpone the telephoto until next year. Afterall the macro is about half or less money than I had been planning to spend on the telephoto, surely the wife would give her OK for that!

I showed her your picture, and after a huge ooooh! and a couple wows from her, I dropped my bomb. (snide grin!)

She imediately inquired... "I thought you wanted a big bird lens?"

Me... "well yes dear I do want one, but this one is half the money, and at least then I'd have a decent macro lens to keep me happy until I can afford to get the telephoto I want!"

She.... "Just order than damned telephoto so I don't have to keep listening to your sniveling!!"

Me.... Hello B&H? Yes, please send me one Sigma 100-300 EX, and one Sigma EX 1.4 teleconverter. :-D They should be here on friday or monday!

I guess the macro will have to wait until next year!

Thanks Sam! LOL

I am glad it worked out for you ;-)

I'm putting all my lenses in a cabinet, where my wife dares not to look ;-) She is afraid of looking in there and getting upset ;-)

I just try to hide all the UPS boxes when they arrive.

Mike,

Even if the shutter speed was 1/1000 that would be a 1/4 of the total movement which would be ~ 100degrees? which would make 25 degrees of movement? I don't see any movement in this picture at all.

Correct me if I'm wrong with the above, I'm just trying to understand how it was done?

Cheers

How much movement did you expect in that shot?

Mike

I'm sure that there is NO way of asking about the authenticity of a
picture without hurting your feelings somewhat. Just the fact that
I ask the question it's going to be seen as insulting, but I had to
ask!
