Norm: you're making me cry :-) I want to bring a long lens with me but it's too much to lug along and with my luck, customs would confiscate it!

Vito: Thanks for the encouragement. Whether or not I can make a good bird photographer is yet to be seen. Good bird photographers need patience and I'm sometimes lacking in that area...

The 50-500 will give you everything you want

As if Am Yisrael are going to keep you out because you have a Bigma

Lo lo lo

well....patience is the biggest thing i'm missing...that and the thousands of dollars i'd need for the SLR and lenses :-\

i'll stick to still life and landscapes

those i can have COMPLETE control over...but patience is needed in landscapes too....waiting for the perfect light...

Unfortunately it's impossible for us to control anythin. I knew that from the beginning. But it's fun to try

lol....absolutely right norm....but, you, unlike me, find it as a fun challenge.....

i'm, in photography, a control freak

That sequence where the heron is swallowing that seriously large frog is awesome.

No way that bird gets that frog down its throat! But it did.

Also really like the blue heron shots and the closeup of the osprey in flight.

Great stuff. Looks like you had a great time chasing some really interesting birds!
