Some gorgeous photos on Art Wolfe's site, Kathy. I've seen some of his TV shows and they're great.

Good luck with the squirrels! I've been trying my hand at birds and animals as I'm working in Shetland at the moment but the little sods keep moving and avoiding my lens!! I also have a D200 but because of the weight and security issues at my accommodation, most of the time I only have my Fuji point and shoot with me. Was going to bring my D200 this trip but decided against it because of the weight. So, what decided to do a dance in front of my camera a couple of evenings ago? Otters! I've never seen one before and didn't expect to in the town but 3 of them decided to have a good feed right in front of me. Unfortunately, it was at sunset and my Fuji just could focus fast enough in the failing ligh. So annoying! Here are a couple of my blurry efforts - the D200 will be accompanying me next trip!!! :doh:

The picture of the pair looks OK for a Fuji P'n'S.

With all that oil money you need to look at at Fuji XE1 or XE2 with a 55-200 and 18-55 lens. :lol:

I'm being sad and still holding out for that D300s replacement!! Just bought new lenses at xmas and no, before you say it, I don't want to use them manual focus on an XT1!!

The Fuji p n s camera (a new one btw, not my ye olde one - I treated myself to an upgrade) does way better quality than these otter pics. These were shot in really poor light and probably on 1000mm zoom, hence the focussing difficulties. Think the iso is 1600 on these.

Here is another pic of an arctic tern, shot earlier in the evening, also at 1000mm. For what it is, and for what it cost (£140), the camera is not bad and is pretty good in good light. The pics tend to be a bit soft and grainy in general though but the 46x 35-1000mm lens is great when you can't get near the wildlife. I got some nice seals photos, that I put in my gallery earlier, with it.
