There's a checkbox just below where you enter your post - 'Automatically parse URLs'. When checked, urls show up as links.

Also, for dpc images you can click the last icon and just enter the image ID, in this case, 82803. Doing that get's you a clickable thumbnail.



... and nice shot

It worked! Thanks again!!

Another wonderful shot. What kind of bird is it? A type of heron?
06/10/2004 06:54:08 PM · #11
Casmerodius albus
The Great Egret
Egrets are closley related to the herons

Good Job.

I believe that the Sigma 50-500 Ex is a valid contender for any who need the "reach". Give it a stable platform and it is very capable.

Enjoy.

Which cost more? The lens or the trip to India?

One of the joys of the 50-500 is that you can skip your upper body circut training the day after you hand hold it for more than one hour.

Bigma 50-500 handheld. I use this lens every month for the rodeo playday my sister attends. It's fast, and powerful.... although a little heavy by the end of the day! I highly recommend it if you need the range from 50 to 500!

I bought my to use at Dog Agility test and Dog hunt test.I must say so far i love it.It works great for getting action shots . Yes it is a little heavy but you get use to it :>
