Great pictures!!! Thanks for posting. How much did the Tamron 200-500mm lens cost? I assume you are using a tripod?

Excellent shots Jim. Images like that don't come easy!

[Travis Mueller]

Thanks for the pictures Jim. It is a lot of fun to take these, and then go back and look at what you got. A lot of times you don't even realize that you captured something other than what you were trying to get. until you go back and look back on them. Thanks
