RE: National Wildlife Photo Winners
Wonderful. Maybe Tim can take note of the technique used to get closer to the curlew: "Doxstater took off his socks and shoes and slowly waded into the marsh, making digital photos along the way using a 500mm lens and a 1.4x teleconverter." The photo of all the dolphins reminds me of a week I spent in Plettenbergbaai in South Africa. 2 or 3 times a day a similar-sized pod of at least 100 dolphins swam round the bay. We would watch from the terrace of the house we had hired, then go down and dive in from the beach to swim & surf with them when they came right by us. It was an unforgettable experience. -- Cheers, Bob > -Original Message- > From: Shel Belinkoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 21 April 2006 18:06 > To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net > Subject: RE: National Wildlife Photo Winners > > Better Link: > > http://tinyurl.com/77896 > > or > > http://www.nwf.org/nationalwildlife/article.cfm?issueID=79&art icleID=1158 >

Thank you, but no thank you. ;-) Not at my beach. No way, not with my luck. Think my chances for getting the tools safely out of water would be less than 50%.

RE: National Wildlife Photo Winners
I'm not saying you should or shouldn't Tim, but over the years it seems that those photographers that go the extra distance, take more time, move in places that are hard to access, come away with better and stronger photos.

RE: National Wildlife Photo Winners
can't say I blame you. Having waded into the saltmarsh here at low tide a few years ago, I would not do it again. On that occasion I had (I think) a Leica M3 and 2 lenses with me. I sank up to my nuts in mud and had great difficulty extracting myself. Fortunately no harm came to the cameras or to my nuts, and the tide had the good sense not to come in.

RE: National Wildlife Photo Winners
I couldn't agree more Shel. Despite this, I can't think in the lines Bob suggested. Not now. In not too distant future, I'll probably buy the new body with shake reduction. Then, I'll be using the DS as a backup body. With an "obsolete" backup body I might be willing to take the risk. If I drop the DS now. I'll be out of photography for a considerable time.
