lmao yeah. I think shipping costs for me was $6 but it took about a week to get here from CA.

I want to order more but I have more important things I need to spend my money on at the moment.

Also, this code RFR129224 is open to anyone to use, only works for your first purchase though.

Thomas Keller fried chicken and Calcareous Lily Blanc. A perfect picnic lunch in Paso Robles.

Nice shot here, DC. I'm itching to buy the 100-400 II for an upcoming airshow, but it looks to be a great lens for my Grand Prairie Butterfly Club outings as well. I'll be going out with them tomorrow using the 70-200 2.8 IS on the 7D2.

It is an outstanding lens. On the 7D2, the AF locks in instantly, even with the 1.4x TC-III attached and the IS is absolutely rock solid. I was shooting the bare lens for the damselfly shot, but I think that combining it with the ET-25 extension tube and the 1.4x TC-III will give great magnification with very comfortable working distances. I think it'll be a perfect butterfly rig.

Awesome finch Dave!

Great shot of a classic JMG!

Probably my last weekend shooting the Osprey this year. The little ones (not so little anymore) have learned to fly and it won't be long before the nest is empty until next year as they move on.

If that's the end, super shot to end with. I love these landing poses.

jmg, love the Carrera Targa. I helped my buddy buy an '87, lightly used, back in the day. Had lots of fun tearing around West Texas in that thing and racing it in an AX or two, or three.

M_Six · 07-10-2016, 10:39 PM

Some great shots here today. Looks like we were all out and about. I was out with the butterfly club. Had some luck with my 100 mm f2.8L macro lens on my 7D2.

Mark, that bumblebee shot looks like it was in a studio. Great stuff.

Thanks, DC. I was pretty happy with it as I hadn't even readjusted settings yet after using the 70-200. After the shot I realized I was still at f2.8, so I'm surprised the DoF is as good as it is.

justanotherdude · 07-12-2016, 02:50 PM

Haven't been very motivated to get out and shoot, so instead I've been editing old photos - practicing with presets and such.

I just had occasion to re-edit some pix from 2008. There were some good shots in the mix, but I was stunned at how much better I am as a photographer and editor. Also, the editing software today runs circles around the 2008 versions.
