Janie and I went on a nice easy hike Sunday. The park trail guide said that you might see Great Blue Herons on this particular hike, so instead of the usual D70 / 18-70, I took the big bag, and the D2H / 70-200VR + 1.4 TC. We did see three GBH's, although they were all behind dense vegetation, so no shots, but I really enjoyed this cam / lens combo.
I haven't used the 70-200 nearly enough since I got the 300 2.8, and I had just about forgotten what a great lens it is. Since I didn't get any GBH shots, I wished that I had left the TC in the truck. In spite of this though, I got some really pretty shots. Here is a sample.
The prettiest thing that I saw all day 8) :
Another:
We also saw some pretty flowers (the bokeh with this lens is amazing):
We saw some fairy cook pots
....
And even though we didn't get any flying birdies, we did get some winged creatures:
All in all, a good day to be alive....
