Stuff<\/h3>\n

I got to the cliffs early on Sunday morning and enjoyed another great morning. Although I am sure that they had not, it seemed that everyone had; all of the photographers stayed well back and to the right for the first hour. Heck, it was the nicest, friendliest group of photographers I have ever run into at La Jolla. It was great also to see Patrick Sparkman. Condolences to him and to Robin to his Mom and the rest of the family on the recent loss of Patrick’s Dad. <\/p>\n

I meet the first San Diego IPT group at 7pm on Sunday night. <\/p>\n

The Streak<\/h3>\n

Today makes one hundred sixty-eight days in a row with a new educational blog post! This one took about 90 minutes to prepare including the time spent optimizing the image. With all of my upcoming free time (or not …), the plan right now is to break the current record streak of 480 … Good health and good internet connections and my continuing insanity willing. <\/p>\n

Featured Listing<\/h3>\n

Canon EF 600mm f\/4L IS II USM Lens<\/h3>\n

BAA Record-Low, Shock-the-world priced<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Walt Anderson is offering a barely used EF 600mm f\/4L IS II USM lens in mint to like-new condition with extras for the BAA record low price of $9395.00. The sale includes the LensCoat that has protected his 600 since day one, a RRS stuff foot (installed), the original foot, the lens trunk, the original box and everything that came in it: front cover, rear cap, manuals, & the rest, and insured ground shipping via major courier to US addresses only. Your item will not ship until your personal of certified check clears unless other arrangements are made.<\/p>\n

Please contact Walt via e-mail<\/a><\/center> or by phone at 1-847-721-8319 (Central time). <\/p>\n

WMD: Weapon of Mass Destruction!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Walt, a long time BAA friend and an IPT veteran as well, is the inventor of the Better Beamer Flash Extender<\/a>, the very first BAA mail order item. When it comes to taking care of his gear, Walt is fastidious.
\nThe 600 II is the<\/em><\/strong> state of the art super-telephoto for birds, nature, wildlife, and sports. If I can get it to a location, it is my go-to weapon. It is fast and sharp and deadly alone or with either TC. With a new one going for $11,499, you can save a cool $2,005.00 by grabbing Walt’s might-as-well-be-new lens right now. <\/em> artie<\/p>\n
