This fella hangs out at North Beach, Fort DeSoto. I've had the fun of shooting him several times. Lighting wasn't the best this time, but his poses were pretty good.

Lovely set. These guys are sure fun to watch, aren't they? Did you shoot these pictures with the "Bigmos"? Just ordered one since Amazon has them on sale. How do you like that lens?

Thanks, everyone. Betty, I did use the Bigmos for these. I like this lens (for the money), although it does require plenty of light to get sharp images. The extra reach is what appealed to me, the price appealed to my wife.
