I think I would stick with a successful combo.
Nice work.

We have a micro reserve up here that has one hide ,and the photographers have been left alone to develope it ,hence we have a reed bed and water right up to the hide ,our moveable feeder stick. Is between 6 to 9 feet in front of the hide ,the detail you can get is amazing

Getting close is more than half the battle. A friend of mine lives in remote area of Radnor hills. He puts offal on his bird table for the Kites to come down and pick. Sadly we don't have anything that interesting.

Sounds heavy! I concur.

I hauled the D3, D300, a flash and five lenses up Stickle Pike last night, Christopher carried my lightweight? (Not very!) Benbo tripod.

Once up there the Benbo wasn't heavy enough, it just sits on the ground, grass in this case. The exposed location meant strong winds. So the assembly vibrated in the wind, 30 seconds exposures resulted in soft images. Waste of all the effort carrying the gear up there. Should have taken the heavy tripod. It has spikes which you push into the ground by stamping on a little bracket provided for the purpose. Result is a pretty well rock solid mount.

Where do you stop?

Mmm, not sure where all those posts came from...

It's just a tool Jeff, doesn't really matter what the badge says, if it plays your music, go with it.

I think we are either wanderers or not. I had a variety of cameras with film, but I don't take to changing brands easily. I still try to switch my wipers on with the left hand stalk, because that was how my Rovers worked, I had Rovers for about 12 years and I liked the layout, so if you see a little blue Corsa indicate right when the rain starts, it's probably me!!! My last Rover went about 1989? Old habits die hard.

That's one reason I stuck with Nikon once digital arrived. I can pretty well do most things in total darkness with the D3 and the others because they are pretty well the same layout.

Be happy to see you anytime, lovely pix and friendly chat.
