Of course I have story first :D...
It was Friday evening and it was me, Rusty, Artie and an IPT
participant (from an IPT just completed) all on Shadle's boat. The
target were the Spoonbills.
While cruising around, this Loon was found. Since it was still
early, James went on the attack to get close to this Loon. Of
course, he did a great job.
Everyone was shooting. Well, almost everyone. Dumbo here,
only brought his 600. To make a long story short, Artie was kind
enough to let me borrow his 1-4. Thankfully, I didn't drop it in the
bay :eek: I also didn't wash my hands for a week after handling a
true Arthur Morris owned lens :p
The reason why I'm posting this image here is, I'm not sure of the
crop to use. This is my first bird where its going diagonal. If I
go too vertical, then I have too much top empty space. If I go too horizontal,
then lots of empty space on the sides. Right now, this is more square
than anything.
So I'm open to ideas...
