All your shots are great imho, but that dragon race is WAY cool sir!

Thanks Larry...I got the 70-300 back from the Oly hospital today, sure feels good

Tried a shot of some berries which I wasn't that happy with. I then noticed the little critter sitting on one of the berries. He looks like a very tiny frog

My first flower with the Nikon D700

Another test with the D700, bare with me here, it'll be over soon :smile: Just amazed how little post work was needed for this image, push the blacks a bit and a tad of sharpen.

Lovely images! That black bird from the last page Mino is a Currawong,,, it may be a native, not sure. Here's a few from last weekend up in the high country.

I really like the first two shots...I'm a sucker for pelicans ever since I watched "Winged Migration". Nice stuff!

My Olympus system is now a memory, I'm using Nikon all the way now. For my nature close up work I'm using a d90 with a 70-300mm because with the DX sensor I'm getting 450mm, not quite the 600mm I got from the Oly but I can live with it.

(my mistake...D90)

Still getting used to the Nikons but think I'm getting them tamed a bit
