I'm keeping things low key this weekend, my new meds make me groggy so I take pics between naps.

Good evening. I always like your pictures. Sometimes I see me in the background.

I love your photos swampsniper.

I hope the adjustment to the meds gets better.

(P.S. Naps are good. I always try to get in a Sunday nap after church.)

The extreme telephoto lens shortens the image. This was shot at about 900mm equivalent focal length, almost 20X.

When I get groggy, I just have another 6 pack and then sleep it off.

The pelican is very sharp and clear...for a "long" lens.

Very nice.........

Panasonic FZ30 with an Oly TCON-17 lens. It’s a decent combo.

Thanks, Leica makes good glass. I’ve heard that Panasonic may find another source for lenses, that won’t be a good thing.

Nicely done! I love pelicans. Clumsy on the foot, but masters on the wing.

Very nice....

How far away were you from the pelican?

I am still stuck in my old ways....A Nikon FM...using Kodachrome 64..as my fav.

I have a small digital...but the Nikon is a workhorse...although I have to wait for the results. LOL!!
