Photobucket shrinks em down, but if you still can't see the whole image either "right click --> View image" or "Control + Click with a Mac"

Got a new camera and lens setup the other day. Figured I would share some of my first few photos. I got to admit I'm pretty blown away by the resolution.

Here is a cropped pic of the previous one of the more in focus bird.

Here are the two birds in action. These arent going to be as clear because the Fstop required to capture motion at that zoom isnt available until you get into the $6000 lens range and I wasnt using a tripod

Actually that's not totally true. I've always used Canon Point and Shoots. I had a Canon S100 the month it came out. At the time the hands down best point and shoot camera on the market.

Doc I have a lens I love, it's a sigma professional 10-20mm, at 10 it's right on the edge of a fisheye, the absolute best for shooting in social events, you can hold it in your hip and hold the shutter down and then crop out what you want getting great candid shots

I've been looking at a lens like that. They are so awesome. They pull in everything.

Just a guess, but I'm thinking I have about a 100 degree field of vision

You should go to an optometrist. I'm pretty sure mine is about 185°

And he paid 500ish to be that way.
