Brown Pelican

Brown Pelican giving me a big yawn. Nikon D600 with a Nikon 70-200VR using a 20E III 2x extender shot hand held.

Attachment 92702

Another great shot, Jeff. I think you're really lovin' that nice lens! You sure know how to use it! BTW, have you posted any of these - or other photos - lately on the NG website? Just wondering. :-)

This image and the Egret ate excellent. I bow to the master of hand held. If I were to try hand held on a 70-200 with 2x, you wouldn't be able to tell the egret from the pelican. - Terry

Liz, thanks for taking a look and leaving a comment. As far as the lens and 2x teleconverter go I really like them both and they work well together. As far as the National Geographic sit I had forgotten about it, I will post some of these on the site soon.

Thanks Terry for your very positive comments, they really mean a lot to me when you take the time to look at my photos and leave a comment.

Jeff,
I've been off the site for a while, just got back on and started looking for your posts.
The egret and this brown Pelican just prove;
" A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." paraphrase to….
"A bird in the hand held photo, by Jeff is worth two in a typical tripod photo."
Can you determine my appreciation for you excellent photos?
