My Bosque BIF rig
D700/grip 200 f2 VR TC-17E II onna BushHawk
1st shots of the New Year, it was a balmy 7 degrees when I headed down to the river this morning.
A few fruits of my labor for your perusal, all SOOC w/modest crops. Thx for playin'
I guess you didn't turn into a pumpkin on New Year's Eve, Will -- you still have the magic touch. All nice shots but #1 is extra special for me. Wonderful light and color, and the background is just right. Makes me want to jump back in the car and head south to your neighborhood. 7 is chilly, but if the cranes can stand it I guess I can too.

Nice shots. BTW, how many shots can you take before you have to lower that rig and rest your arms?
LMAO Now that is funny! Just how much does the beard weigh?
I suspect TM is more burly than many of use ... I sometimes hand hold my D300 +grip + 300 f/2.8 but not for long ... I usually use a monopod .... I do need to look into a Bushhawk ... and some leasons from TM
'monkey! your d700 didnt self destruct into a million pieces when the d600 and d800 were released? good thing, since it still takes ridiculous photos. let me rephrase that, it still allows YOU to take some ridiculous photos...

Nope, and the pumpkin seasonal's are gone 'til next Fall You would have gone nuts yesterday (cold and all)
Great ops, they stayed low and switched back and forth between 2 pastures. I got a good spot under some trees
and even had a log to squat on in between waves. Forgot how cold it was pretty quickly. Many thanks, Mark.

Thanks, James. I dunno, a few minutes worth is no problem. It's not like you're shooting in standing
position for hours...ya move around, rest it where and when you can. Squatting elbow on knee gives ya a break
as well as leaning on a fence post/tree. Never give it much thought anymore, been shootin' for so damn long.
Keep up the good work--you're driving the raw shooters crazy!
