Quite good Stan, I don't think the 150-500mm is really
suitable for BIF..... highest I've ever shot was a woodpecker
in hole in a tree popping it's head out
The moon shots very good.
I've never tried close ups with it either although it does
look suitable.

I think the bird had almost stopped to look at something
The moon shot may well feature in other photos too
This lens seems to be more multi purpose than I thought and with practice (lots) I hope to get some good images.

The moon shot could be quite easy to fake!
I normally use a large orange piece of cardboard with
a yellow disk to fake my sunsets
