That image is wonderful. Was this with the "bigma". I may have to get one.

If that shot is with the "Bigma" boy do I have some learning to do to get my shots that pretty.

Awesome shot Lava. Perfectly framed.

Nice indeed!

The "bigma" is the Sigma 300-800 everyone :wink:

Great detail, and contrast in colours spot on.

Thanks for all the comments. I took this shot with a Nikon 28-70mm AF-S at the 70mm end. I was lucky that the pelican was pretty accustomed to humans and let me get pretty close before he took off. He was maybe 15 feet away. The shot is cropped a little. The Sigma 50-500mm lens (Bigma) is nice, but the Nikon is better -- you just have to be a whole lot closer.

I'm curious - were you shooting in manual? The exposure is so perfect.

Spot metered on Mr. P. Other than that it was set on "Program" with my D50. I almost never use that setting, but I was trying it that day...
