I am presently still not able to take pictures, but my splint was removed yesterday, so I hope to be back in the saddle next week. In the interim, for image quality comparisons, I am continuing with postings of images taken with the various cameras that I've owned over the past 20 +/- years.

The above image was taken in 2010 with my fourth DSLR, the 12.3 Mpx Nikon D300S. I was using my 500 mm F4 lens + 1.7 TC, tripod-mounted for distant shots when all of a sudden this Falcon landed too close for me to get it all in the frame. LOOK AT THOSE TALONS!
