    Another Peanut Thief.

    Well i finally got a few moment to myself today and guess what , the sun was out So i played around with a few Blue Jays So heres one for ya Now for the bad side of my day , my Sigma 400mm wont Aoto focus anymore . I dont know if the cold weather got to it ,or a gear striped . I can hear the motor do its thing but it wont AF , on the bright side i can still use it manually

    Also forgot to mention that im trying out a Velvia filter in CS2

    That is a great shot Knight - love that you caught him from behind so his tail markings are visible. Normally I don't care for Blue Jays - they are more of a nuisance bird around here - but this shot could make me like them all over again.

    Sorry about the Sigma - hope you can get it fixed - at least you can still use MF.

    Nice image, but I think you over did the filter contrast wise.
