I am smiling!!!

Uploaded: March 25, 2007

Description

This shot was taken with my 500mmIS lens and the 2x and 1.4x teleconvertors stacked on the MkII body giving me an effective focal length of 1820mm! It took over an hour of waiting and alot of images to get one where he was looking directly at me, but I had a goal and I stuck with it. When it works it makes it all worth it!

Yes, I definitely was smiling! I had tried on a few different occasions for this exact shot but was not able to pull it off. When things come together though its all worthwhile! #4431087
