I can't believe you got these while "out for a stroll" with just a 200mm lens.
Did the little buggers come and pose for you?
Excellent captures.
Derek, this is simply a fantastic set of bird pics! That tammy seems a lustrious lens! 😊I can't believe you got these while "out for a stroll" with just a 200mm lens.

My dad was an avid photographer and owned all sorts of cameras through the years as I was growing up. In my early teens I used his 110 and polaroid cameras.
At 17, I bought my own first camera with a small gift of money I inherited from my grandmother when she passed away. It was a Nikon FM with a 50mm lens. I shot thousands of photos with that camera and one lens from 1976 to 1998 until the metering system went out on it.
At that point I started using a Canon AE-1 that a friend gave me and used that until 2004 when hubby bought a 2MP Powershot point and shoot which was the first digital camera I ever used. After using that for about three years, I decided it was time to get back into a REAL camera. So in 2006, after extensive research, I went with Pentax.
My first Pentax ever was also my first DSLR....a K100D with kit lens...I thought I died and went to heaven!!!! After a year of owning it, it got stolen and I replaced it with the K200D and kit lens which I still own today.
Wanting to take advantage of better IQ at higher ISOs and other major digital upgrades available, I purchased a K5iis in January of this year (2015). Next came a Sigma 18-50 2.8 EX in June and my newst purchase this Christmas was a Pentax 55-300 WR.
It's great to finally be aquring equiptment that allows for the photo creativity I was so yearning to return to.

Oh Mags, my heart and jaw both dropped when I heard of your misfortune. 😕 Hoping you find a replacement soon.
Perhaps Santa will bring you a new lens...one can hope!!!!😄

I did it, I did it, I did it!!!!! Finally got my avatar working! Apparently, I was trying to use my profile pic which is 150 x 130 as my avatar. A simple size readjustment to the required avatar size of 80 x 80 did the trick. Thanks everyone!

Thanks for the warm welcome. I have a question concerning profile picture implementation. I have chosen a photo and it seems to qualify within the required perimeters, but I can't get it to show up next to my Username. Any thoughts?
