dhesling, I love the composition of the Pelican shot!


Joel, nice Woodpecker shot with the 2X! I think the 2x II is pretty good for stationary subjects, especially for the price when you factor in what a 400mm plus 1.4X costs, or a 600mm.


Rick, Congrats on the Road Runner capture! Sometimes when I have too much reach on a prime lens, I'm not sure what's better, getting the whole subject in the frame or going for the head and body shot? What do you think? Unfortunately in this case, the tail is what is really cool about the Road Runner. Tough Call! This happened to me on some shots at the Air Show with a Plane. Who wants to see a chopped off plane in mid air? Wouldn't it be nice if we could flip a switch and zoom out. Doesn't Nikon have something like that; FF or Crop setting?


Denise, I like the 2nd crop much better too. Hopefully your baby will come home to you soon!


dsiegel, Nice job of adjusting your ISO for the changing lighting conditions. The Promaster looks pretty good in the 2nd shot.
