Bill, great shot of the owl, patience really paid off on this one, but dont stay on the ice too long, Spring is upon us[:|]. As far as the 500---I havent had much time with it, still trying to get the yard right for the summer----lots of trimming, planting etc. I have taken Joel's lead and set up some perches and extra bird feeders in one area of my yard that benefits from the warm light of the setting sun, but haven't had a lot of time to shoot. However, this afternoon is calling me, so maybe I'll park myself behind the camera in a little while, when the sun gets lower. Other than it's size, there isn't much to get used to with the 500, just point it in the right direction and it seems to take great shots almost every time----Now I have to do my job, which is another story.





Again, Nice owl shot
