   Wonderful – you must have a really good lens

     The lens that I use is a Canon 70-300mm lens (on a Canon 50D body). Compared with some of the bird photographers that I see, that’s pretty modest gear. In this case, it was more a factor of patience and good light than a great lens.

     Thanks. I was fortunate to be in a spot where I had a wonderful angle from which to photograph the osprey.

   Wonderful shot. You just showed that there’s a lot more to photography than great gear.

     Thanks,Lyle. I feel so much more comfortable with my camera equipment than I did a year ago and I think that has helped me take better advantage of my photo opportunities. However, I still love to read about newer gear and plan to gradually improve my setup.

   I haven’t seen them here yet, but I know they will be here soon. This is a nice flight photo with some good detail in the head!
