p.1 #1 · Eeeeewww...or Holy Cr@p!

Second weekend with my 400L5.6, and the good news is I am still enjoying it. The bad news might be that I am now lusting after the 500 to compliment the flier lens of course. hen maybe the Sig...

Anyway, some images including the 'eeeww' - the others are not as 'yucky':

#1 Eeeewww

I think I'd call shot number 1 "The Crop Duster"

Nice and enjoyed the black swans too

Thanks Pete. I think these are common in parts here. Although for a new bird photog like me, they're all new!

'Crop Duster' will work also. One of these days an overhead might be a less than pleasant experience.

Thanks Tim, that's certainly a possibility as an isolated portrait.

Ha ha. Wouldn't want to over-cook the smoothing. Oh no. It starts.

I better nip in the bud before it becomes a 205-post cr@p thread. =)

How about a distraction - here's the clean version.
