Stuff<\/h3>\n

Well, we thought that Tuesday morning was bad, but Wednesday was worse. The wind was practically lifting us off the cliff and there were very few birds in flight. I created only a few Brown Booby images and deleted them all. I did keep a very few landscape photos. The afternoon was great. I started off doing some wind against sun flight and had a few good chances with birds banking back toward their nests. Then we photographed two different chicks in nests just ten feet apart; one was quite large, the other quite small. Then a nice dinner at Captain’s Table. We fly tomorrow to Grand Cayman and Miami arriving in Orlando at 6:30pm.<\/p>\n

The Streak<\/h3>\n

Today makes one hundred ninety-nine days in a row with a new educational blog post! This one took about 90 minutes to prepare. 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

Canon EF 500mm f\/4L IS USM Lens (the “old five”) with extras!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

New BAA Record Low Price!

Greg Morris is offering a Canon EF 500mm f\/4L IS USM lens in very good plus condition for $3447 (was $3700). The lens was cleaned and checked by Canon in December 2017 and the lens mount was replaced. The sale includes a Canon Extender EF 1.4X II, a Canon Extender EF 2X II (both in like new condition with caps and pouches), the rear lens cap, the lens trunk, the leather front lens cover, and insured ground shipping via major courier to US addresses only. <\/p>\n

Your item will not ship until your check clears unless other arrangements are made. <\/p>\n

Please contact Greg via or e-mail<\/a><\/center> by phone at 1-580-678-5929 (Central time).<\/p>\n

The 500mm f\/4 lenses have been the world\u2019s most popular telephoto lenses for birds, nature, wildlife, and sports for many decades. I owned and used and loved my \u201cold five\u201d for many years. If you don\u2019t have the cash for the 500 II and can handle the additional 1 1\/2 pounds, then this is your best super-telephoto option. Most everyone can produce sharp images with this lens and a 1.4X TC. Folks with good to excellent sharpness techniques can do the same with a 2X TC. With the new 500 II selling for $8,999 you can save a neat $5552.00 by grabbing Greg’s lens (plus the two TCs!) <\/em> artie<\/p>\n

ps: The Series II TCs work perfectly well with the older super telephoto lenses; the series III TCs are best when working with the newer Series II lenses. <\/em><\/p>\n
