Sweet set of piccies Merv, nicely done.

Interesting to note the two '51's...one with prop cuffs and one without..sweet.

Thanks Gary and VB for your kind comments. Here are some pictures of a Rabbit I took at my mothers place in Arizona, they were taken with a 150-500 Sigma DG with image stabilizer, the baby Humming Birds were taken with a Cannon 18-200 with IS. Coments more than welcome. The rabbit was taken through a very dirty front window so it was a little hazy.

Excellent catches sir and photos as well! Both subjects can be hard to catch with a camera. Nice job! Do you like the Sigma lens?

 

[ontos]

I really like it so far, I used it last year at the Chino show and got some good shots. I still have a lot to learn on using it Of course I have a lot to learn about photography too.

That rabbit has the fine makings of a Jackolope

Great shots Merv!

Good stuff, Merv. The birds in the nest shots are really crisp.

The rabbit did have some pretty big ears for a little guy. There was a mother quail and 14 babies that were so small you could hardly see them, but they ran off before I could get my camera They were just outside the kitchen window. Thanks Eric, I used the 200 MM for that shot of the hummingbirds. They did not even seem scared when I took the picture, it was like they were posing.

I don't know what kind of car this is, maybe Aaron can let me know It was parked down the street from me, if you look close in one picture there is a bullet hole next to the cab.

Very cool Merv! I think the car started it's life as a Ford Model A. As to what year, your guess is as good as mine. It is now what they call a RAT ROD. The air scoop on top of the carb is very cool. It reminds me of the air intake on a ME-109. Excellent shots Merv. You never know what your going to see. Keep carrying the camera with you. I almost never leave the house without mine.

Thanks Aaron, I appreciate the information. When my wife and I were on our way to Vegas a few weeks ago we saw about 12 of these heading to LA. Must be some kind of show or something, a few had some radical paint jobs real sharp.

I thought the air scoop was cool too. They seem to be pretty popular around here 8)

I'll have to buy another camera to put in my truck, I have one I keep in my car, a cannon PowerShot 8.0 mega pixel A630, it zooms to 16x.

Did you notice the old pick up in the drive way?

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Your welcome Merv. I wish I could afford another smaller camera but I just keep the Rebel with me just about all the time. And yes I did notice the old early 50's Chevy pickup. The scoop looks to be a headlamp bucket off of a 39' Chevy car. I may be wrong but I think that's what it is.

Nice shots Merv!

 

[Shinpachi]

Right. Who knows what you would come across, Merv.
Thanks for sharing those nice shots!

 

[vikingBerserker]

I'm liking the car!
