speaking of bird photography, this one classic example where
equipment matters a lot.

photo" party.

so while i snapped these other shots... there was this bird, not just any bird, the devil bird. shortly after this photo was taken i was violently attacked by a tornado of wings, beaks, and claws, while it was trying to tear my back to shreds with it's claws and beak, i remembered most of my "in case of fire" training and neglected to stop and drop, but did manage to roll(spin) and run my ass outta there...
