Great photos, thanks for sharing.
Thanks everyone for the encouragement!
I saw this little one sitting on a cherry tree branch outside my office window, a Pygmy Owl. It was early morning and as the light got better, I realized it was not a huge robin but a small owl. I snapped a few shots through the window, then decided to get a closer shot outside. I had the Canon 400mm lens on and was within 10 feet of the bird. I expected it to fly off as soon as I approached, not the case. it sat in the tree for another hour just looking about.
thanks, I'll check it out!
Great photos, is the Hawks Prairie close to Scatter Creek? I was just checking out the area on Google Maps. I have stopped by Billy Frank / Nisqually reserve to get some shots but was in the fall and didn't see much. I will have to travel a bit further south I guess. BTW, I'm in Puyallup.
I pre-ordered one, hope to get it in April. $185.
thanks for the reply, I guess I'll just have to be patient:-)
Egads, what is up with Sigma? I ordered the Sigma 18-35 f1.8 a month ago from Adorama, called them today, the salesperson said they expect the lens in by end of July.
hey, that's great news. I put my order in a week ago and no one at Adorama could tell me when they would get the order in....excitedly waiting. Hope they ordered lots of lenses for Canon
Thanks thelazya, but I ordered it yesterday, so now I just have to be patient:-)
I'm sure you are right. I have dealt with both stores and both seem to be above average in the customer care department. How long did you have to wait for your lens?
thanks, Adorama site says I can preorder and credit card won't be billed until lens ships, but I am hesitant to do that as it may be quite some time and I'd hate to be locked into one store.
I want the new Sigma 18-35 1.8 lens for Canon bad after reading all the rave reviews. B and H and Adorama are both out, message states on both sites: back ordered. I have never encountered this before. Is this common? Price is $799 at both sites. Am wondering how long it will take to get restocked, any guesses? Thanks.
