A 700mm lens? Wow, Anita!! What a beautiful capture! #10480054

Anita Hogue December 27, 2012

Thanks everyone. It's not a 700mm lens. It's a 500mm lens with a 1.4 extender. #10480274

I've been going through your gallery just drooling over your birds, Anita! They are all wonderful but I especially LOVE your backgrounds - how do you get them so clean and smooth? I see you have a 500mm lens (which I have as well) and even when I shoot wide-open my BG's are not anywhere near this lovely! Wonderful work! Especially love this little guy - we don't have them here. #10521558

Dear Photo Friend: I feel that something has changed at Better Photo but cannot tell you just what has happened. I have been here since 2003 and most every month I have written to all the winners telling them how their work touches me. I have witnessed photographs that bring tears to my eyes and colors that are unbelievable, now I am worried that like all good things that it will not be here the next time I look.
But the feeling of not being able to congratulate all the winners for the hard work, and sharing their talent with all of us makes me so sad.
However it turns out and even if this is the last time I have this privilege, to let you know how exceptional your work has been, please know that I will never forget.
CONGRATULATIONS to all of you for the month of February, 2013, I send my very best to you always, Merna Nobile
