I struggle with a monopod and have been giving thought to one of these

I have one of THESE that is similar but I don't think it would be of any use on a monopod. It is handy on a tripod for regular lenses but I'm not sure if it could handle all the weight on a tripod.

Up close and personal. This is an older shot that I looked at while going through some of my pictures.

Gorgeous shot Jeff. This one deserves a frame and a nice place on the wall!

Thanks Marcel I really appreciate the compliment!

Well deserved compliment Jeff. On another note, I noticed that the D90 was used to do that shot. In a strange kind of way, I sincerely miss that D90's sensor. I think it is an amazing camera with just the right amount of pixels to have really nice feel about the images it can produce. Even when I have the D700, 600 and 7000, I sometimes regret selling the D90. That camera was a one of a king to me.

I totally agree! I think it gave me one of the highest keeper rates of any camera I have ever owned.

Wow, what a capture of a gorgeous bird!

We could probably form a club of D90 owners who regret selling that camera. What were we thinking?

The female brown Pelicans just don't have much color to them.

Thanks Marilynne, I have been trying my Tamron in DX mode lately to see what it can do.
