Hi Alan.
Very nice shot from Mrs F. I'm sorry but it is hard to have sympathy for someone complaining about carrying their great white around.

Cheers, Graham.

Here's one from my wife - a stonechat on teasel. 5DSR + 100-400mm II at 560mm f/8. I got an identical shot from 800mm/5DIV but her's is better.

Hi LSeries.
Very nice shot, nice setting, just the branch and bird.

Cheers, Graham.

It's a lite white, weighing less than a Sigma 150-600 sport, Nikon 200-500, which hasn't caused me problems in the past so I am a little worried. As I get older, it may be that the new Sigma 100-400 plus 5DSR will be used by me on a hike.

Hi Alan.
Sorry, this comment sounded funnier in my head, and when I wrote it than it did after you replied. :-[ I did not intend to make light of your problem, let's hope that it is only lack of practice that has caused you to feel the effects of carrying it.

Cheers, Graham.

Hi Arthur.
Very nice series of shots, I particularly like the second one framed by branches.

Cheers, Graham.

It was close Graham, a splash more of light, being closer, less of a crop and it could have been perfect haha

Here's a series I did of a GBH in a canal in Duke Island Park. The old canal isn't deep, so fish were getting "Taken" left and right... :

Very nice sequence Daniel.

And nice shots from everyone. While most of us are now into spring, today I look out to a blanket of snow and a beautiful world that's totally white.

I took this a couple of months ago, but I can’t remember ever posting it anywhere. Where I live, we’re loaded with Great Egrets. They’re a challenge because when those snow white bodies are out in the sunshine, I always fear that the detail in their feathers will blow out.

My tree sparrow shot was accidentally 600 wide rather than 1600 so here it is again for better viewing. This is ISO 3200 without NR, cropped about 50%. 1DX2 400 DO II X2 III.
