I just found this site and Wanted to say hi.

My name is Philip but I go by Z_Ghost on all the boards that I post on.

I have a 20D, 17x35L, 100x400L, 400F5.6L prim that I use with a Kenko 1.4 DG Pro TC, the 50mm 1.8 and the 18x55 kit lens. O and I still have the digital rebel as a back up.

I love to go out to the parks and shoot wildlife, mostly bird pics as every time I go to the park with the camera I do not get to see the bobcat but every time I go and do not have the camera I see the bobcat < for the bobcat.


I spend a lot of time in River Legacy Park and have just this year found out about the marsh, seems that we have a lot of rare birds there. I went last Sunday for my walk and seeing as it was raining out I left the camera at home, but I swear I seen 8 Roseate Spoonbills down in the marsh.


All my friends think I am a great photographer ( I know I am just so so and I have told them that) but I love taking pictures and showing them off.

All the pics that say First pics 400 mm F5.6 L are from the marsh.

On Sept 22 I am leaving for Yellowstone (my first time) and will not get home till Oct 8, all my friends that know me think I will probably get ate by a Grizzly bear but then they really do not know me that well, but then I have pushed the limits before (not with a Griz, I know better) so they think I am a little

Welcome to the forum, Philip! Good luck with that Grizzly bear-just be sure to use the 400/5.6 +1.4TC when shooting it, not the 50mm f/1.8.

Your shots look like they may have been taken at the Drying Beds next to River Legacy Park. Is that what you were referring to as the marsh?

I plan on it as 50 mm is to close.

Just wish I had more time right now, but time is getting short for me and Sept 22 is closing in fast and I have so much to do before then.
