Now did he tell you his name was Freddie? I think it might be an alias.

Almost very patriotic Jeff!

Shooting a woodpecker as a bird in flight is a little different than the normal shot you would expect to see.

I spotted that great sunset tonight and could not get down to the beach fast enough to catch it. I did manage to get one handheld shot with my 70-200VR lens. I didn't have time to set up a tripod or switch lenses. This was shot handheld at 8:00 PM tonight. This is the Isle Casino from a distance of about three miles.

Still, pretty darn good Jeff. Are you using any kind of a filter on the front of your lens?

Ron, I have a UV filter on all of my lenses but other than that I don't use filters. I own graduated ND filters and a polarizing filter but never seem to have much luck with them so they just stay in my bag.
