Well I might be retiring the Tamron. Scored a Tokina 300 F2.8 AT-x II pretty cheap. Took it out for a quick test run this morning. I still have to play with fine tune a touch...

Still not quite sure which of the stuff on the water is scum, and which might be dust on my sensor!

Would have been a good candidate for flash, but I didn't bring the macro bracket with. Rats.

In hindsight, planned differently this scene could be a very evil jigsaw puzzle.

I love this topic because I visit places all over the world, for instance..
@ rschnaible thank you for the San Juan tour this month.
@ Tommie's street life snapshots.
We get a tour through the garden of Donald and Jose
For me, everything on the other side of the world, just great.

I had been shooting this osprey that had flown down to a small pond to drink. He let me get within about 40 feet, and I was able to get about 30 shots before he flew off. Most of them I chucked, but this one stood out upon a further review. Who knew that ospreys came equipped with UV filters? Check out the eye shield.

I don't get lucky with rainbows very often. I wonder if that path leads to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?

@...rschnaible...Very nice picture of El Morro; It's probably one of the only things I can think of that still looks EXACTLY like it did when my ship was there in 1953; hasn't changed a bit; a very remarkable structure IMHO.

@...proudgeek...Great shot of very elusive birds! (If only we knew where you found them) oddly enough, a local bird photographer here in Indiana photographed a roseate spoonbill at a marsh in in N. Indiana last summer, which was only the 2nd sighting ever recorded in the state, (the first being 20 or 30yrs ago.)

Gitzo I won't hold out on you. Saw them in the Ding Darling Wildlife Reserve on Sanibel Island in Florida.

@Ton, you are welcome and I am happy that you are enjoying the tour.... More to come
@Gitzo, Old San Juan (El Morro, San Cristobal, the City) are truly unique.
