    Testing out a new lens I picked up this week on my Canon 70D (100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM). Despite it being a fairly windy day when I took these shots - a little soft, but so far so good! At least I've really cut back on the amount of Chromatic Aberration!

    Barrel Proof Tasting

    Only because the woman have to drink Bourbon to see how sexy your legs are. Kinda like beer goggles, only stronger. And I have to imagine barrel proof is even better! 😁

    I'll be your huckleberry, if you'll have me... 😁 Love the Smokewagon Uncut Unfiltered! Found that completely by chance at a local liquor chain at MSRP!

    So far only 5 come by daily - but I expect those numbers to climb as we inch nearer to spring. Seems they start to heavily flock at that time... :mad:

    Not really a huge selection at the feeders, but the House Sparrows are looking pretty good. Love the chestnut coloring.

    For those curious, here’s the setup - Nikon D800 (full frame) on the left, Canon 70D (crop sensor) on the right. Im using the 200-500 f5.6E on the Nikon, and the 50-250mm VR lens on the Canon.

    I wonder what you're doing/not doing... I have had to learn how to steady the camera to keep from creating blurred images. I have a Monfrotto tripod with a Neewer Gimbal Head - and the combo of the two makes a pretty solid platform to steady the shots. I also always shoot in manual mode so...

    I have the 200-500 f5.6E - and both you and my lenses are in the "moderate" range... I'm not yet tempted to go into the "holy crap!" range... 😁 I've had pretty good luck buying used equipment - as long as I've stayed with reputable sellers. It's a crap shoot to buy a piece of camera...
