Larry ;-), you're confusing things. It is them who got close enough to you, not you to them...

Re: Birding with the 18-250
2010/5/22 Larry Colen l...@red4est.com: Thanks, Jack and Ecke. The 18-250 was at 250. We had gotten a stuffed churro on the pier, which really wasn't very good. I was sitting on the ground, holding little bits of it in one hand, shooting with the other. At least until one of the gulls saw that what was left was under my leg and jumped in and took all that was left. That is what they do. I was eating some rather large prawns in garlic sauce once at a small fishing harbour when a seagull landed on my arm and left no doubts it was claiming the remainder for itself... -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

This was the day before and I didn't have any churro to tempt the birds in closer with. And is the DA* pigeon poo proof? Fortunately, I didn't test that.

Re: Birding with the 18-250
Very crisp work, Larry! Wondering about the zoom settings on the 18~250. Well done 16~50 shot.
