Linh Dinh, now there is a guy who has had to live with homophonic jokes
all his life.

Good work and impressive captures

Man, sucks to be a gopher...

But what a collection! Really nice stuff, even if you're not a BIF fan.

No, this week I need the Canon 800mm f/5.6L IS for my daily
observations of the baby hawks.


Probably better off with a 120 -300 Sigma F2.8 and 2x or 3x Kenko tele
converter. Much cheaper and way more versatile. Comparable quality to a
prime lens with no TC too.

Nothing other than those phots. That speaks for itself!

The photography at photo.net is superb and voluminous, just go to the
gallery and hit "top photographer" or "top photos" etc. (various other
filtering can be applied).

Even more so on full frame. I keep a 300/2.8 Tokina on the old D200 in
my bag, which was not nearly enough to catch this crow fight in more
than smallish web sized:

If I'd had time to put on the teleconverter(s), it would've been nearly
impossible to frame and focus :-)
