If you need futher convicing, look at my post of "Two shots of a Red-Tailed Hawk" posted on 12/2/13

The first bird was shot with a D300s, Sigma 150-500mm, 1/6400sec. at f6.3.
The second bird - D200, Sigma 150-500mm, 1/125sec. at f7.1

I had about 15 sec. for the first photo and he was gone. The first bird, I had time for three and did adjust for exposure. The whites can be tricky to get correct exposure especially if using "spot metering"

These were both taken under unusual lighting conditions

These were taken with a Nikon D80 and a Sigma 150-500mm lens, at 300mm, f10 & 1/60 of a sec.

The eyes are intense - almost hypnotic.

Several Pelican from S. Florida

I am always amazed by the people that have no interest in what you're selling but feel compelled to offer opinions about your price.

You'll be the first to know if I sell individually

Thanks for your time and quick response.

Thanks for the information.

I notice that many of you use a TTL cord to connect flash to camera. Do you shoot TTL ??
I use a PC cord to connect (much smaller) but shoot in manual, ie. 400 iso, 1/200 shutter, f16.
Which do you use ? Is there a better way to do it ??
Thanks.

What model is the tripod ? carbon or aluminum ? and what is the height without the center column ?

Sorry, couldn't find the model on Adorama or B&H, but did find it on E-Bay. Got my questions answered.

Sarge,
I'm sure the checks in the mail. In order to make room for all of your new equipment, why don't you box up all of your old camera stuff and send it to me.
