Me (photo by Chris) - I haven't figured out the best way to hold the lens yet. Sometimes I use the tripod holder, sometimes the lens barrel.

Looks like you are doing very well with this lens on getting sharp pictures. I find that keeping my elbows against my body and forming a sort of human tripod with my arms makes it easier for me. Using this method I have actually taken pictures at 1/15 second at 600mm. I also take in a big breath then letting it out and stop breathing momentarily to stop any body movement has worked very well for me over many years of shooting.

Thanks Jeff. I haven't used the lens in a couple of days. Letting my arms recuperate. I'll try that next time I use it.

Good Tips Jeff... Thanks, I may poach them too!

as much as i hate go to the hospital/doctor i find i get better service going thru the front door than going thru their dumpster. love the gas professional.

Since Chris use to work there, we always use the back. I'm not sure I remember what the front looks like.

Congrats on the Tamron being shipped. How long did you wait?

Cloudy, yucky day yesterday. Spotted a flying head (kingfisher) on a wire. By the time I got my camera out, it was gone, but this guy flying past.

Went out to Loxahatchee yesterday with the Tamron. Wouldn't you know everything I saw was right at the dock. It was tough shooting.

I asked him to move since its nose was in the grass.

This juvie soft shelled turtle was swimming near the gator. Look at the size of that neck.

This large one was hanging 'round the gator also - this was underwater - look at those nostrils
