Hmm this sunday isn't looking so hot weather wise, supposed to dump snow. What are the chances of you having a snow mobile? :p

Agreed. Let's go some other time. I should have the D3x in January. :)

Ok, kyle. I got my birding kit. :D Let's go when the snow melts to a more manageable level. How's the ice on Deer lake? I'll remember to bring my battery. :p

Kyle, those are really, really, really (x 100) nice shots dude. Did you use your bigma for those?

i'm like this close to buying a 300mm f/2.8 stop posting pictures.

Damn!!!!!!

When bird shooting, and that kind of lens, would you use a tripod? If so what kind?

Also, what lens is that, its a beast lol!

The widescreen border gives it a national geographic documentary look. Nice photos!

wow, how far can that lens zoom?

It all depend how far away the animals are. You'll need a minimum of 200mm for wildlife though. A tripod or monopod would be a good idea...make sure it's not a cheap one though.

The lens on the left is a Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 AF-S VR. The one on the right attached to the D300 is a Nikon 500mm f4.

The big one is not a zoom. It's a 500mm f4 prime. It weighs 8 pounds!

Niforpix - Thanks! I am starting to get the hang of birding photos, still need a better keeper ratio. Those are all taken with the bigma, wish I could afford faster glass, but not yet.

Thanks Tom! your back in town now right?

77Civic1200, those are some of the best eagle shots i've seen! Love the BIF pictures wow! Those are pictures i dream of getting! I would love to get some longer glass. 500mm F4 would be amazing! Its hard to save pennies when i keep on spending them! Huge props man! Unreal!

All taken with Nikon 500mm f4.

dams super nice!

Nice shots Senna.

Kyle, one day you'll get that lens... one day. :p

Some guy let me put my camera on his 600mm f4 yesterday for a couple shots of a hawk destroying a duck for lunch. OMG did that lens make me horny, I'll have the shots up later.

^^ lol

Where did you go?

I was just out for a walk with a friend and her kid near Jericho to feed the ducks, spotted a hawk on the frozen pond. As I walked closer I noticed about 10 photogs off to the left all using huge glass. I was talking to a lady for a bit about what it was eating, when her husband asked if I wanted to try his lens (I only had my 85mm with me) I couldn't turn down that chance.

The 600mm appeared hornier I bet. :haha:
