When a friend had told me there were flamingos in the lagune where I mostly take trips I couldn't believe. It was true. :) But they were very far away, even by my 300 lens they were very tiny. After many shots at several days I've got the opportunity to take a closer shot. This was taken about 50 meters.

300mm, f5.6, 1/500, ISO 500, Nikon D3000, Tamron 70-300

Tanju - You were a patient man, waiting several days, returning to the lagoon repeatedly to get this shot. Flamingos are quite elegant when in the water. You captured them nicely in this photo. Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine

The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
