[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I've tried to reply privately to everyone who has visited my website and sent comments to me, but in case I've missed anyone, THANK YOU for your comments and suggestions! I'm overwhelmed! To answer a few of the questions, no I'm not using a tripod much, aside from the White-tailed Kite (I was hiding in a blind) and the adult Northern Goshawk (1/4 sec exposures require some extra support...). And to add to the hand-held vs. tripod thread, I typically use the fastest shutter speed I possibly can even if it's only 1/60 sec (the Prairie Warbler photo). In the almost 20 years I've been using the 400 f/6.8 I doubt I've used it at something other than f/6.8 more than once or twice. With Leica glass in hand I don't question the imaging qualities of the lens at full aperture. The scans are all on a Kodak PhotoCD; I've just gotten some more scans and I'll add them to my website as time permits, and post a messge here once the site's been updated.
