I hope this little trip does't get me banned from the M&G next year.
Starting it out, what else but a Great Blue Heron?
I was a bit rusty, shooting wise, and was without my tripod since I left my allen key at home and couldn't mount my long lens on the tripod. I lost a lot of my shots to camera shake. This visit would have been a great trip to have one of the Tamron, Sigma, or Nikon super-zoom lenses. I had my 300mm on the D700 all day, sometimes with a TC 1.4 added. It would have been much easier and effective to just be able to zoom over that range. I got there late due to an issue in the morning, so I really didn't need a fast lens for the days efforts, further making one of those lenses a better tool for today.
