Re: Trainspotting

Great Shots of Roberts Bank - it's where all the coal comes and goes isnt it? The close up is good too - quite an old loco. A few of my own large collection below.

Re: Birds 2011

Looks like a Redpoll to me. They are just slightly smaller than a sparrow and flit quite fast. I love the first shot. Not the one above I mean the lovely little red finches on the previous page. Having looked them up I note you dont get Redpolls in Maryland. I've double checked and it is a bird cal...

I cant seem to see the Canadian ones which is a shame. Very fond of Canadian Pacific.

Teleconverter.

Hi All. I'm thinking about getting a teleconverter to do wildlife and bird shots. I've got an A850 camera and my long lens is a Sigma 150-500mm. Any ideas as to which is the best to buy? Thanks.

Re: Birds 2011

How do you guys get the shots so sharp when the bird is in flight? I really struggle with that.
