   I take bird shots all the time, and you don’t need a tripod to get crisp shots at 1/400 with 300mm.

   But what I came here to say was: Nice booby!

   Oh, OK, that lens is pretty heavy, but a big guy can swing a 300mm 2.8 around without needing a tripod, too!

   No tripod, handheld on bobbing boat. Cheap Tamron 28-300mm zoom. I stopped down, and boosted ISO.

   You don’t see blue often in land animals… do you?

   That Sigma totally cracks me up. I love how it makes the camera look like a little pimple on the lens’s bum.

    ok… still think that is not the "often" I talk about like… brown, white, black, yellow or even red…

    whatcha think?

    true and blue makes it pop…. the opposite of camo… And perhaps Blue is a difficult pigment? Blue eyes come from scattering and not pigment (more specifically, it’s the lack of pigment – all our eyes would look blue with the pigment removed)…. Iridescent butterflies have blue wings from thin-film interference effects….

    

    and it all relates to interface design…. =)
