Josh, great shot.
I'll never forget, in about 1972, washing my Mazda RX-2 in a "Magic Wand" car wash, when a guy pulls in with a Daytona in full race trim. The numbers were still on the side, the aluminum fenders were full of out-dents from gravel hitting in there and the paint was scratched all over the whole car. The open pipes almost broke my ear drums. This was in Tampa, Florida and the guy had bought off a racing team a year or two prior and was just driving it occasionally and keeping it in its "natural" condition. Nice guy, that I never saw again. I'd probably seen the car race and Daytona or Sebring or both. Back then, you could buy those for five-figures, or less. Today, they're seven-figures. Talk about a great investment, if only....

Wow, Ed, the Grey Ghost again. I haven't seen a male in many months.
Great shot.

Dive! by David Stephens, on Flickr
I probably posted this shot, long ago, but I just learned that it received Honorable Mention in the 2015 National Wildlife Photo Contest, sponsored by the National Wildlife Federation. If they sent a notice to me, I missed it. I use Pixsy to search for stolen images and this one came up. It took me to NWF's site and, low and behold, I was a "winner" of sorts. Anyway, if you want to see the whole sequence, from pre-leap to tasty chomp on a vole, click on the image and it'll take you to Flickr. The series is embedded in the Comments, so click on "See All Comments".

Awesome shot, DC. And it deserves more than an honorable mention IMO, but kudos nonetheless. Perfect timing.

Ate out back tonight and noticed the moon. Had the 100-400 + 1.4TC on the 5DIV handy. 560mm at 1/320 f8 ISO 200, which is much slower than I usually use with the big whites, but decided to see how well the IS would work for me.
