Default Shooting people shooting birds
You know you have Lens Lust Disease when you take pictures of people taking pictures of birds instead of taking pictures of the birds . Here's some from Baylands Preserve... one of the best places to take pictures of birds or lenses .

Birders come in all different sizes, as do their lenses.

There's little guys with big lenses...



big guys with big lenses...



and big guys with little lenses.



Then there's fashionable ladies dressed for success....



grubby guys who spent all their money on glass...



and people who find the perfect balance.



Most birders use dslrs...



but some use digicams...



and a few shoot with strange things like spotting scopes...



... but we all have a grand time shooting the birdies (and each other) at Bayland's Preserve.

Hehe, Funny!
People watching is just as fun as bird watching, isn't it?
Can anyone identify some of those lenses so I will know what it is I'm lusting after?

Hahaha, fun stuff. Great shots too. That "digicam" is a DSLR too though. =)

Top to bottom..
500mm f/4D AF-S I Nikkor
500mm f/4L IS USM Canon
70-300mm f/4-5.6 Tamron
70-300mm IS USM Canon (no idea on apertures.. f/4-5.6?)
100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM Canon
300mm f/4D AF-S Nikkor
400mm f/2.8L IS USM Canon
Some lens I assume to be Sony on A100
some Nikon spotting scope with adapter to use with NIkon DSLRs

What's sad is that I didn't bother looking anything up... ><
