@TBMike and Pavel: Thanks (Pavel, I was probably updating the info while you were typing).
@bms44974: welcome to dyxum! For some reasons, your shots don't show initially, I had to copy paste the URL to see them. And nice ones (especially the hummingbird)

Thanks to all for the warm welcome. The pictures were visible on preview and just after posting. I'll have to check to see if there are any known issues with links to Webshots. I stumbled on Dyxum while looking for reviews on flash units. I couldn't believe that I would find so many photographers online with such similar equipment and interests. Between birds, railroads (A and N scale), and focus stacking I could spend way more time than I should enjoying all this forum has to offer.

Cheers... Brian

@Brian -- I can't quite figure what is going wrong.

Here some pictures I Made this weekend, normally these bird fly away if you're close, but this time I was lucky, took me almost a hour waiting till I get a nice shot out of it, but it was time spend well.

Klaas

All pictures made with the A700 / Sigma 100-300mm F4

For those of you who (as I do now) had trouble seeing the images in my previous posts, I think I have found a reliable means of including them in my messages. Here goes...

Anna's Hummingbird


Great Egret (if I do say so myself)
