Went out to a bird of prey and reptile place with a girl for a day out at the weekend and we took some photos.. she has a 550D with kit lens.
These are mine... with the 50D and mostly the 150-500 Sigma

I can envision all sorts of jokes and one liners when you pulled out the Bigma...
was she impressed by the size of your lens? ;)
I like the birds in flight, nicely caught
Date... yeah... really what your saying is that one of the birds at this bird and reptile place took a fancy to you whilst you were there :P
Good photos though, looks a good place to go back to every now and then, the in flight ones are good nice and sharp and I know how fast the birds can be after trying to take some photos at a local falconry display.
slightly off topic but no I actually arranged to meet a girl there, 2nd time I had ever seen her :P looks like it wasn't enough to put her off either so that's a win!
Yeah its crazy difficult to get good in flight shots, i should have spent more time actually adjusting the camera as even with the overcast sky some of the photos have gone proper silhouette
