To Ron Olson: I have been following this thread for a while, and finally purchased this lens. The purchase decision was based mostly on the wonderful bird pictures, as we live on a bay front tidal marsh where wading birds visit, so I thought I would try my luck. But I just saw your wonderful flower image. The soft out of focus areas are fantastic as they contrast with the sharp "hair like" parts of the image. It would not have occured to me to use a long lens like this for flower close ups. Well done. Made my day.

Thanks Dave ! Really appreciated
I think you should try to use the lenses that you have for different motives, they can work well for lots of things
Looking forward to your images

Some friends and I have been following 5 different great horned owl nests this year.
It's been a lot of fun, most of the owlets have now fledged, but still hanging around the nests.
I took my first flight shots ( 2 ) in years.
I was chimping some photos on the back of the camera when a friend says, He's going to fly.
I was shooting my standard standing owl shots, so I just spun the shutter shutter wheel, and brought the camera up.
I managed to go from 1/320 to 1/800 and got these two shots.
Not great, but it's been years since my last one.
