Everyone who has this lens seems to love it, and I guess this is why. #3 is fun; looks like antigravity.

Yes Mark, this lens is wonderful and teaches good habits. 3 Thanks!

Good stuff, Tim.
One of the interesting things about still photography is that it often shows us the complicated and awkward-looking movements birds go through to take off- or land (i.e. #2).

Nice quacker take off Tim. Your gulls are wonderful and nice to get reacquainted with an old friend....fun to shoot with 800/2. It is light as a feather and I agree it is really fast.
Hope the weather improves or the ducks may just be in your front yard.
Eric
800/2 is 2 funny
It is sooo light compared to the super teles it's almost like it isn't there.

Fantastic shootin' Tim. I feel the dreary pain.
I made an attempt to drive 2 hours to have a chance to just see snowy owls. Had a great time in the rain watching the sleepy visitors by myself for over 2 hours and just appreciated being in their presence until a guy with a longer lens than I dream of and his backpack helper felt they could make 5 of them go into flight. Grrrr. I was so bummed and really felt frustrated to know this is how some people do it. Well anyway I am over it and did get a nice couple shots but I don't feel comfortable making a post. It's just too against my beliefs.
Luv the runner #1 and the last is quite angelic.
Take care and hope we have a couple good days coming soon

I feel your pain Brian. Few things piss me off more than patiently working a bird only to have some morons scare it off And yes there are many photographers putting the snowies in the air just to get the shot, its infuriating.

Hey, I think I know your 'old friend' very well
If it could only talk
I would bet that it was difficult to get used to how light it is compared to what you are used to. Those big teles do tend to draw a crowd and some pretty hilarious comments
Looks like you two picked up right where you left off............making good memories buddy

Great set, Tim. I like the pose on 2 as well. I am so impressed at the sharpness of #4. Wow, makes me rethink getting that lens. My 100-400 is so slow focussing. Hope your weather clears. We've had a lot of rain here too.

You would work wonders with it.
