It is a Rebel XTi and I LOVE it! Due to budget constraints it was used but a wonderful price! Too bad it has a 180 pg manual that I am reading. Now for the 500 zoom lens.... Here is one photo from my first batch. Feed-back welcomed!
Oh, I do like that. Contrast where needed.
You also can add to your list swans. Swimming eagle is an odd sight, kind like an oversized duck with eagle`s head. If they underestimate the size of the fish and get their talons in the fish will drown them. Thanks, Ivan.[/quote]
Ah, yes, I forgot the swans. My brother-in-law used to own the largest waterfowl farm in the US and he has Mute Swans, Black Swans and Black-Neck Swans along with every kind of waterfowl imaginable. They all mate for life. He gave us many different kinds of waterfowl. The Peacocks thought they should be able to follow them into the pond. :D
Ivan, I truly meant to congratulate you on your 100th Topic and as you can see, we all look forward to the next 100!

Next time I'll get the horizon level! I hadn't noticed it wasn't, until I started coming here.
That can be so easily straightened in PP.

Hilton Head and East Tennessee
I love east Tn. The scenery is breathtaking, just the opposite of where I live in northwest Tn. I live in the ugliest part of the state. Middle Tn is just like it says, in the line of beauty, it belongs right there in between.

Terry Sherer is a gifted artist and I consider photographing his art a privilege. One of his specialites is using tree mushrooms for canvases. He is also excellent at carving bone, wood, etc.
As an artist, my favorite is the elephant. I love any kind of animal art (and OF COURSE photography!)
Ok, more trivia: Bald eagles are monogamous. Their talons are self locking and once they are engaged the eagle cannot release them. Bald eagles also swim well using their wings as paddles.[/quote]
I had no idea they were monogamous. Canada Geese are too. I knew about the talons, but had no idea they could swim! Very interesting. I should have read more about Eagles. We have a lot of them at Reelfoot Lake in the NW corner of Tn and across the state line at Ky Lake and I live close to both.
