Walk at the park today

Nice BIF, yo! Two different birds? Must be a lot of rats there.

I take it BIF means Bird in flight? ^_^ Thanks for the compliment

Great shots!!! I should be getting my DA 55-300 in May! I can't wait!!!

Looks like it wasn't a "walk in the park" for that mouse!

You're gonna love the 55 - 300. It's very versatile.

Great shots...those GBH will eat anything. I've had my 55-300 since June 2008....great lens.

Looks good to me. This is a terrific lens for the bucks and it's not too big.

thanks for all the kind comments. Yes it is a very versatile and nice lens. Perfect size too. @ Dammgina, yes those are two separate birds. The second one landed in the pond and just left the dead rodent to die and didn't eat it. Not sure why it killed it in the first place. It kept rinsing it in the water before leaving it. The first bird just flew away with it.

Beautiful captures. I like #1 the best. Congrats.

Very nice shots, I have just picked up the DA 55-300mm myself recently and so far the shots are sharp and a cut above the Tamron 70-300mm that I was using before.

phzy2003 · 04-07-2010, 11:17 PM

the first one is nice. very good catch

twitch · 04-08-2010, 01:46 AM

I can see why you're loving that lens, very nice captures. I've got it too and feel the same about it

PentX Girl · 04-08-2010, 01:50 AM

Great capture...the 1st photo is the bomb!

Nomad · 04-08-2010, 04:09 AM

I like the first one best too.
I love my 55-300 and it stays parked on my k10d as my drive around/walk around lens.....landscapes are static enough to change lens to a wide when needed.

Tuner571 · 04-08-2010, 04:34 PM

Wow, great series of shots. My favorite is the first with that amazing capture, I really hope I can pick up one of these someday!
