Very good picture. On walking round a Stately Home taking pictures on an outing with my camera club I kept being asked if I was taking pictures for a magazine, wish I had been... :lol:
That had to be a nice little boost for the ego.

Your right Erv, it was fun and I enjoyed being able to help others. Thanks for the compliment. I'm glad you liked the photo.

So true,the first time i took my Canon L White lens,out
i went to a very large horse drawn carriage parade,two of the city workers working the event had a flat bed truck parked on the corner of parade route,they notice me with my gear,walked to the back of the large crowd,escorted me to the bed of the truck and helped me on the bed,every one was looking at me,i didn't tell them i had only been shooting a few months,but got some great shots.

Neat story Joe. Maybe if I haul my gear to a Chargers game I could get escorted down to the sidelines to take photos. Wouldn't that be something.

If the questions get to be to much I may have to resort to your tactics Billy. Of course that would mean I'd have to buy, rent or borrow someones dog.

Isn't it amazing how knowledgeable we look with our 150-infinity lenses on our cameras? Just like heyjoe, I've had people think I was the event photographer for sporting events and been granted access to places where other folks couldn't go once the big, white Canon L lens came out! Pretty cool! The best thing to do then is say nothing, thank them and proceed to get some pretty cool shots!
Think I'll keep a cardboard replica of the big boy around my 24-70 just to keep the privilege going;)

I'll have to go to a Chargers game and see if I can get down on the sidelines.

I am getting sold. Also itching to go to the SDZoo. Haven't been there since high school. Great pix.
Glad you liked the photo Earl. Now would be a great time of year to visit. Get out of the cold and enjoy some great weather.

Don't feel bad Jim. A lot of other post here on the hog are lost on me too. As to the purpose of my post it's nothing more than to relate an experience I had.

Glad you enjoyed the photos Bob. I don't think that's an elephant tusk. It's more than likely a rib bone.

That rib bone does add a little something extra to the shot.

Whenever I see someone shooting with a big lens, tripod and large camera bag I ask:
Do you wear a hernia belt?

How do like the new setup? Just recently purchased a wonderful slightly used D3 and am looking to upgrade a telephoto. Have been renting a Sigma 120-300 2.8. Wonderful lense but what a workout! Lugged that puppy around the Circuits of America race track for the Formula One race last October. Was ready to put it down after three days of walking around a 3.4 mile track. By the way ... Is that your Mustang?
