Am I a member now

I've now bought myself a 70-200 f/4L IS, which probably gets me into some sort of inner sanctum - and I have now taken a picture of a duck. Does that mean that I'm an accepted member of the club now?

Yup, a duck is the official pass-picture....LOL

Do you know the secret "hand shake"?

With a 70-200, an "L" and a duck shot, you must be something!!

haha! So you don't know the secret L IS handshake Strap the L IS on your camera, turn it to portrait, point it 45 degrees up, do the "secret handshake" and you can capture the edge of the universe

Superdiver - not only do I have a 70-200 and a picture of a duck, I also went to Ketchican two years ago (the place that measures its annual rainfall in feet rather than inches, right?). I also remember Dolly's Brothel, but we won't go into that

duck is sooooo last month. Try a bullfrog.

how do you like the lens by the way? I've been waiting to pull the trigger on it. How are the indoor shots?

First of all, I've no idea where to find a bullfrog in Hertfordshire

Secondly, the lens is superb. I've taken indoor shots at f/4 and they are beautifully sharp. I would recommend that you go and pull that trigger!

Nice ripples there, thats one of best duck shots at the POTN. congrats

Thanks farrukh, that means a lot.

Roy,
The DUCK is now a member of the club, the photograph has done absolutely nothing for your personal standing. I laso believe that you should have got the duck's signed waiver before publishing this picture....did you?...No, I bet you didn't. Your type are just using animals for your own personal gain and gratification....be a man and go fowards on your own merits. Bob
