I did a bad bad thing.

I was bad with retail therapy...

I should really bring it back...

It's winter here and in my neighborhood it is when we see Bad Eagles at the marshes around my beach at home.

I have wanted to photograph them, but my lenses are not big enough. There is a guy on FB that gets shots with a 400 mm lens.

I kinda said out loud the other day that my goal this year would be to catch an Eagle pic.

I got an email from the camera shop that there were having a sale on used gear. They had a used 100 to 400mm lens the was just the amount of Christmas money that my sister and uncles gave me.

I watched someone by the lens.

Sigh.

The camera guy showed me a Sigma lens...brand new. There was a $200 rebate on it.

I did take it home...even though it was still $200 more than my Christmas money...

not smart.

I better bag and Eagle.

and maybe figure out Instagram.

I am happy you got a lens-Wachusett Reservoir has a set of resident eagles.

Instagram is easiest by phone unfortunately

I think you ought to keep the lens and use the shit out of it. You take really great photos and this lens can only serve to make your photography even better, plus you deserve something nice once in a while, especially with all the crap you have to de with at work and at home.
