Both very nice shots guys. Last night in a nod to my own heritage, it was a tumbler of Tullamore D.E.W. for me

That being said the most recent RX-7 shot is in Explore right now. It's in 6 groups. So we at least know 6 groups is not too many. I'm no were near 44 and it's been a year or more since I've had one in explore.

Great shot. I really love how the grayish snowy background makes your pooch pop in the photo!

Congrats on the Explore.

Ed, great harrier shot. I haven't gotten a good shot of one in months.

Thanks Dave. I got several even better than that yesterday that I still need to process. I had a pretty good outing up to the NWR's. I think I feel a cold coming on this Friday to head out to the other two that are south of here

The fastest bird (actually fastest animal period) in the world takes a brake. From a different angle you could see the goose down in its talons showing the remnants of a recent meal

The original Targa was a super car for me. Take off the roof and it felt like you were in a full convertible.

Geese flying out... by David Stephens, on Flickr

You guys make me want to spend money on some expensive supertelephotos and get out and shoot some nature.

As much as I shoot cars, my real passion is landscape and wildlife. The car thing is just 2 hobbies crossing paths and now I've inherited the duties of club Photographer by my friends.

You'll still see us post a car every so often. Also, I'm ex-official photographer for a couple of my bands and some things at church.

I think I remember that you have a 70-200mm f/2.8. That's well suited for mammals, particularly with the EF 1.4x and 2.0x TC-III attached. Of course, your primes are really well suited to landscape.

I run into lots and lots of photographers with the 100-400mm as their go-to lens. The Nikon guys are all slobbering over the new 200-500mm which is priced affordable and can be hand held easily.

A really fabulous peregrine shot Ed.

Thanks Alan. Though not uncommon around here, it's still a rare opportunity to get that close to one.

Where'd that doe go? Two bucks pause their sparring to look around for the doe:
