So I did. I was quite impressed with it, and went back to read more, and in the middle of reading, you updated it with Buckwheat's article. I called Buckwheat and told him about seeing his pictures and article. Thank you for including me in his article. Buckwheat was really impressed and he said to tell you thank you.

If he can deploy that heavy and cumbersome rig that quickly it tells me that he spends an incredible amount of time using it. I can empathize with his injuries as well, and am inspired by what he has done.<BR/><BR/>My auto accident two years ago left me with 3 fractured vertebrae (surgically repaired) and all five lumbar disks herniated (not repaired--way too risky). Don't know if I made the right decision, but I can't walk more than 50 yards without rest. About a mile is now my tops and will be in pain for a week. WOW--that guy inspires me to get over it and just do it.<BR/><BR/>Nice photos too!<BR/><BR/>BTW, that 100-400 L zoom was a big disappointment in terms of resolution. I traded mine in for a 400 f/4 L which suits my purposes for landscape, but not enough focal length or aperture for serious wildlife work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690422682664917237.post-29286230800866437982008-05-13T06:09:00.000-04:002008-05-13T06:09:00.000-04:00Wow.

I can well imagine the banter you all must have as well. I followed the link and saw some great shots over there.
