The old chair has a certain charm as well... Very Happy The rust colors and molluscs taking over.

GORGEOUS! I do like the Eagle shots - talking about "catching the
moment", and with a big lens like that!

I LOVE the shots of the Great Blue Heron. I can't believe how NICE this
lens renders for such a long-reaching telephoto.

Thank you "xjjohnno".
"Mo" I thought it interesting . I wish coud have got the full chair, but I was at a optimum distance in regards to the birds.
Attila, the weather changes without notice- Thanks and I hope I am luckier with the weather next time too. It would definitely help bring out the details in the dark spots .
Thank you "Laurence"- The autofocus feature is mostly boon when it comes to "bif" shots. The Minolta Reflex has a proven record over a long time .I make the best of it-its not that heavy or awkward. I use it on a cheap and light "Manfrotto" ,and leave the ball and socket loose so I can "Pan" and rotate at will.
