Years can be very different when it comes to bird populations: Last year bullfinches were hard to find, but this year the whole forest seems to be full of them.

on the beach in Ventura California, yesterday, a few photos of a hawk eating a duck, probably carrion, killed in the recent rain storm. Canon 6D. Just had a 70-200 with a 1.4 X teleconverter. Got about 20 feet away from the hawk. It wasn't too concerned about me.

Krob78, life is just too serious. So, I thought I'd have a little fun with Alan by mentioning moire. Apologies, Alan. The forum just hasn't been the same since Dilbert left.

More seriously though, I'm not sure I agree with the crowd that would throw out all LP filters

Jack

No worries Jack, reeled me right in! Fun! ;D
