NOTE to the "Canon 400mm 5.6 L" Group this wasn't taken with the 400 5.6, but it does provide some good information and a shot of the 400/5.6.
My backyard....of course.
(Edit) NOTE: Before you read this. Remember this isn't the only way to get a good picture...just the way I'm doing it. Fortunately there are many types and brands of cameras that can best suit the individual and his/her own needs. The skill of the photographer and a good eye is a VERY important part of the process. I see absolutely fantastic photos coming from all sorts of equipment...here on Flickr.
Canon 300D camera, Canon 400mm 5.6L lense, Bogen/Manfrotto 3021 tripod, Bogen/Manfrotto 488RC2 ball head..........EDIT: Since this photo was taken, I have upgraded to a Canon 30D camera.
Before, I used an inexpensive Tamron 75-300mm Lense on the same camera with the Bogen ultra light digital tripod. Pictures before 01/04/06, (300mm) were taken with the Tamron 70-300mm. Later photos were taken with the Canon 400mm
After about one month's use of the new setup here is what I have found.
1. The quality of bird photos taken with this lense are a quantum leap over the inexpensive Tamron.
2. I can use the 400mm lense right down to the minimum conditions (f/5.6, 1/100 sec) and still get a usable image at a severe crop (usable for Flickr or a small snap shot).
3. I need a good stable tripod with the ability to quickly move/set the camera...the reason for the Bogen ball head.
4. This tripod is relatively heavy and wouldn't be good for hiking/walking about, depending on your statue/brawn and fortitude.
5. Edit: This lense isn't a good candidate for the 1.4x extender, because it loses autofocus. What I originally said ((((I sometimes wish I had more focal length. I may get the 1.4x extender, but that will reduce the lense speed to f/8, which won't work in my backyard, but would be good out in the bright sun.))))
6. Faster, long focal length lenses are not in a practical financial range....4 to 6 times as expensive as this lense.
7. March 4, 2008 Update: If you want a more portable/handheld solution, I recommend that you try the Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS. Since this lens has image stabilization it will allow better hand held shooting...at least in brighter light. and gives more flexibility in focal length. It is reported to be a very sharp lens rated at Fred Miranda's site nearly as high as the 400mm f/5.6 L. Of course it costs more by about $400 USD. i.e. $1,229 vs $1589 at B&H. (price Dec 2009)

Mariscado a mano.

Hand-seasoned.
Note: It looks like three legs.
Got some rather bad shots of these this morning. Very shady old Atlantic Oak habitat so apologies for the graininess.
On another note - the Scottish midge season has now been declared open and taking these shots was a rather irritating experience

Every morning I make notes of the photos I intend to take later in the day. However, I don't keep to the plan if something more interesting turns up. This is the "hand" photo and this is the "cardboard" photo.
The Our Daily Challenge group has chosen Hand as today's topic.

Date: 1929
Source Type: Currency
Printer, Publisher, Photographer: Valparaiso National Bank
Postmark: Not Applicable
Collection: Steven R. Shook
Remark: This is a $10 bank note issued by the Valparaiso National Bank, Charter No. 6215, Serial No. A001046A (1929).
In March 1902, William Johnston, Charles W. Benton, and others filed an application with the United States government for authority to organize the Valparaiso National Bank. This newly formed bank was to take the place of the First National Bank of Porter County through reorganization.
The Valparaiso National Bank was located on the west side of Washington Street, across the street from the Porter County Court House. A statement of the bank issued at the close of business on June 14, 1912, showed a capital stock of $100,000, a surplus of $20,000, and deposits of $693,793. At that time, the officers of the bank were Charles W. Benton, president; Leslie R. Skinner, vice-president; A. J. Louderback, cashier; T. L. Applegate, assistant cashier.
The Valparaiso National Bank printed a total of $1,582,130 of national currency beginning in 1902 and ceasing in 1932. The bank printed a total of 1,696 sheets of Type I $10 red seal bank notes. This bank note was signed by Andrew J. Louderback, cashier, and Horace M. Evans, president. Due to the effects of the Great Depression, the Valparaiso National Bank was forced to discontinue operations on January 11, 1932. The First Trust Company in Valparaiso ceased operations on the same day.
