Doug,For several fall seasons I've been trying to get the ultimate photo of the Wild Turkey. I'm not quite there yet but I'm pretty happy with this one: http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/phasianidae/witu22.jpg technical stuff: R8/DMR, 280mm f/4 APO (I'm not sending it away for repair until I get desperate), shoulder stock & monopod, knee pads. All comments welcome. ------ I think you're there. Astonishing beautiful shot. Perfect light both for the texture of the plumage and the color, and of course the pose shows of the creature's lines. These animals are in my backyard every three days, and I can get that close with a 50, but here they just look dumb. My hat's off to you. :-) -- Charlie Falke _____ /\ | __/\__/------/__) |(____\/_________/ "One test result is worth | |/ `o one thousand expert opinions" - Wernher Von Braun 0 N4003M "Imagination is more important than knowledge" - Albert Einstein------ Unsubscribe or change to/from Digest Mode at: http://www.lrflex.furnfeather.net/ Archives are at: //www.freelists.org/archives/leicareflex/ |
