now that I more often do have the problem that my Nikkor 400/5.6 isn't
fast enough, especially when being combined with a teleconverter, I
want to switch a faster lens of this kind. Only problem I haven't
solved yet: Better buying the 400/3.5 of the 500/4.0.

SW Colorado is looking great right now, with many of the large aspen groves
turning gold and orange.  Get here soon if you want to catch the peak.  Some
details ...

Again, redesigning the website. Always trying to find something that works

As usual, your opinion is welcome.

Any chance of using a Nikon 5700 to get some pics of the bats around
here? I can only get to see them in flight, and I suspect it's a really
tricky subject. Any tips? If the digi cam is a none starter how about
with a fairly basic film SLR (Nikon 501)? Thanks.

Drove across Colorado yesterday and today, skirting the San Juans and traveling
east on 50.  In summary, the San Juans are still green, but there were nice
aspen colors on either side of Monarch Pass.  Details below.

My old Canon A-1 (a workhorse if there ever was one), has developed the
problem of rapidly draining the battery.  It takes only a few days for this
to happen.  Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has addressed a similar
problem.

Where to Go?
Looking to take a little road trip this week sometime and wonder where the
best places to go would be in BC, Canada. Any ideas?

Just wondering if anyone that's familiar with Colorado has an opinion
about the prospects of a good fall color season, based on the weather
this year.
Thanks, JY
