Default Met Life Blimp

Well, these are associated with sports and leisure time.

This was flying over my backyard this morning. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a better angle on it, because I have a tiny backyard typical of Los Angeles.

R9/DMR + 800/5.6 (I was backyard birding.)

Thanks for looking,
Peter

So what you couldn't get a better angle ... ? This one is great as it is! And you must have had your camera available just like that, which is a message in itself.

Great shot, very sharp, I like it!

Henri, Marco, Allan, Stuart, and Gunnar,

Thank you very much for your kind comments. I happened to be taking pictures of mourning doves with the set-up at the time, so I had the big gun ready to go.

Happy New Year!

Peter

Peter,

Good catch of the big bird

I like the shot and lucky you had the right piece of gear at hand. I got a picture of one of those somewhere. One flew up the river valley and by the time I had the camera out al I had time for was a couple of quick snaps.

You don't get to see those things to often.

Peter
