Post Your Best Nature Shots!

Image Quality is king as far as I'm concerned. So I wouldn't touch the 2x extender witha 10m pole, with a monkey holding the pole being held out by an elephant on theother side ofthe country. That should keep it far enough away from my gear. []


Brent - love that last shot mate. Welldone. Glad you're happy with your new lens.

Brent,


Great shots! I also really like the third one. Do you live on the Gulf Coast, like me? The bird selection is something I am very familiar with and see almost every day.

@HiFiGuy1: I actually live in the same area as Nate. We live in the same city! Thanks for your compliments.


@Btaylor: Thanks for your compliments too!

[HiFiGuy1]

That's cool! Do you and Nate know each other and/or shoot together?

[Sinh Nhut Nguyen]

Power Brent, I too like the third one. Really caught that one at the right moment, good exposure too. We should shoot together sometimes

I really like the bokeh in these shots!


I would really appreciate your comments.

Here's a few shots from around the house that I have taken since motorsports season is mostly over now. An Encore Azalea, a night view from my front deck (I'm thinking about getting the 35 f/1.4L so I used a 17-40 f/4L @ 35mm for perspective), and an artistic attempt with a non-keeper from awhile back.

I know these may not meet exact "nature shot" criteria, but there are so many shots on this fourm subject now, it's hard to come up with something original.
