Thought I would post a shot about doing things the hard way. Noticed this flower growing on my neighbours wall about 7 metres in the air. Too high for the macro but thought it could be seen from my rear deck so got out the Nikon 400 5.6, added the Nikon 2X TC and voila. The flower is about 4-5 cm across.

Obviously I am sick of paperwork and wanted a break over lunch today, next time I will just find a flower on the ground!

Full size no crop

This make kipper tempting him very much

You only needed a 1" high bird sitting on the flower to tempt a certain member Nice shot Glen

Glen,

Nice shot, but next time try and see into the neighbors window and snap me one of those other flowers.

Don't get caught though, we don't want to name you Peeping Glen.

Or thru an opened windows with a beauti woman is changing clothes! or something make me wake up all night

Yeah ! Yeah !

Good one Birdy,

Gees we are sick

mic,
Now you know why I wanted big zoom lenses with fast f. and VR.
So I can cut and run easy if get caught red handed without a tripod

And it's the main reason why most men want the big zoom

Hee heeee

Sorry Glen to turn your beautiful flower pic into a smutty peeping tom session.

Just had a thought - maybe one of the Melbourne esteemed members might want to make an offer on Glen’s combo

No reply!
Maybe he's running out of esteems

Nah it's ok. 400MM without a TC isn't enough reach for me.
No reply, because I'm on my way home from work

This is why I so want the Sigma 800 F/5.6 or Sigma 300-800 F/5.6.
But the price tag brand new is a bit out of my reach. Check out the lovely detail in the feathers on this tiny bird.

kipper,
That's a tough call isn't it? save up be good and Santa will drop one for you by Xmas 05. Plenty time.

Well a $7k tag is way out of my reach, seeing as I would like to go back to the UK early 1st quarter next year.

You told me you're living with mum & dad here.

Yes, but they're the only family I have here.

Sister, my two nephews are in France.
All Aunties, Uncles, Cousins + Nan is in the UK.

Kipper, if you go to the UK don't worry about f8 Sigma or Nikon, you will need a f2.8 or f4 there. As you know lots darker than aus

Most people seem to get away with F/5.6 there

Also Glen, it's not that dark. Was there at winter and it's about the same as Melbourne Winters for light.
