Wow and wow again Mino. Aiden says thanks, and like someone said some pages back, you really should make some kind of compilation of these. They are just fantastic. Some of the crispness and detail is astounding. The bee shots, the feathers, the hair on the raccoons, the vines in the dragonflys, incredible.

I love this thread.
 
Thanks Matt. Unfortunately my 70-300mm is dying and must be shipped clear across the country for repair which I would think will take a bit of time. It died two months past warranty. I never by the extended stuff and now I pay :embarasse The lens is going to be missed mucho while it's away. I still have the 40-150 but it just doesn't measure up to my baby. I guess I'll now have to shoot other stuff:violin:
 
They sleep in this tree about 6 feet up, but there was another tree they would sleep in that was even higher.

It was hard to get good pictures because they only go into the trees to sleep, so there isn't much light. The chicken posed for this one.
 
Steven, Nice shot. If you want to make an upgrade I would recommend investing in a different telephoto lens. The Bokeh in this shot is pretty terrible. Is it a mirror lens?
 
It's actually a Pentax 50mm f1.4 SMC, it just works telephoto on my Olympus E-500 because of the crop factor.

This same crop factor means that my 200-500m Tamron is now a 400-1000mm tamron:

These will be some of the last images from the good old Oly E-3 as I'm selling the system, just praying I'm doing the right thing :beer:
 
Getting into a Nikon D700 but people aren't exactly lining up to buy the E-3 so it will be a few months yet if I have to scrimp and save. I thought she'd sell quicker. So I guess we'll see a few more post's using this system. If I don't get a fair price, I'll keep it as a rough and tumble outfit :) Either way I'm getting th D700 sometime soon.

Nice bird, what is it?
