OMG I can NOT believe you posted that!! ACK! Yes and COLD! I'm wearing 4 layers of clothes!!!

I'm dealing with a uber slow computer tonight... having to deal with an almost full hard drive before I can deal with photoshop.... ARGH!

Since I didn't take any self-portraits...you were the only human to make a photo....should have taken a shot of the rangers....hehehe

Lisa, I think those are stellar given the circumstances we were shooting in.

Filed away under "excuses" for future use.

Thanks!

It's a great excuse.... But it was colder than blue blazes out there.... No longhandles... jeans wouldn't let me!

He might have cuffed me... but you were the bad guy... the only one they wanted to ID... perhaps they were worried about me.... We should've made snide comments about shooting things.... Next time... I'll get you on camera....

Exactly! Water droplets on the head of the RLH at ISO 6400

Jennifer was dressed for an expedition to the north pole....the poor girl had so many layers she could barely get in and out of the car!

I most certainly was! And I was warmer all day today than I was last weekend when we went shooting with Jeremy.... and it was 10 degrees warmer that day!!! But by golly I was warm.... warmer I should say!

Despite the conditions you had today Lisa I think those are fabulous!!!!

It sort of looks like the lighting in west Oregon was similar to what we had in eastern OR....those look pretty darn good for crappy light and ISO 6400 with a 2x TC.

I am glad you traded coats before we left....ROFL....that one might have been a bit over the top!

I'm not going to keep any of the shots from today but I think that if it gives this sort of results (Dan just looked at my shots...they are all very acceptable) with a 2x tc & horrid high iso, it's just an amazing lens.

Hello Jennifer, it's nice to put a face on the name

I couldn't believe how well they turned out for such horrid settings!

it was bad today. Rainy, drizzly...over cast...bleah. You are right, the 300 2.8 is magic.

Seriously, in good light I bet it would produce similar results to the 600. And for just above half the price.

I'm almost embarrassed to post my boid shot from today...I had the camera set for shooting waterfalls when this guy came along.

I'm jealous! I have no good (non-captivity) owl shots. This is very cool!

Yeah it would've been... I would've probably been hot! But my four layers... super warm sweatshirt... and boots did the trick... I actually was surprised how warm I managed to stay today!

Hey if I had that coat... and we ended up going off in that ravine way up in the mountains looking for the never found fire tower.... I would have been able to get some attention AND stay warm!!!! But oh yes... right fork... fire tower.... left fork takes ya back to Hot Springs... Whatever!

Well...the OIF shots were a disaster....I had the 1Ds with a 70-200 as the only long lens when we encountered the owl...I was glad I got what I did.
