The first shot is to give perspective on the lens I am using. I love this lens a Nikkor 200-500. This shot is of some golfers on the other side of a golf course, on the other side of a pond.

I shot them since most of us know how large people are, and they are about 200 to 250 yards away - that's over 2 football fields from where I was standing. And I shot it handheld, not on a tripod. I am amazed at this lens.

Stumbled on two of these stunning today, and I accidentally startled them, and they literally leaped up in the air and landed about 4 feet off the shore and swam quickly away.

I think these are arguing over who has fishing rights on that side of the pond...
