That's pretty much what I thought when I looked out my back window at 1am last night. Out the back door I went with my camera.
Got a tip for us?

Another gull shot
Test shot with a newly acquired 70-300mm VR, 300mm, 1/30, F11, ISO 400, just before the heavens opened.
These lenses won't get sharp photos at full range with anything under f8, but I think I'm finally getting a little used to it.
Comments welcome please...

Hugh, that is a excellent picture of the gull! Keep up the good work.
You must have read a different version to me.
Is that a new background or location?

That's a lot of glass. What was the event? Premier?
It was a "photo day" event at the Los Angeles Zoo, put on by a local camera shop back in November. The chimpanzees are to the left of this frame. To the right of the frame were another 4+ rows of photographers on raised steps with all sorts of high-end kit, including some shooting at the super-telephoto stations (300mm/2.8 on up to the 600mm fast lenses) the event sponsors had provided. The poor folks who were at the zoo to, you know, see the animals must have been a little overwhelmed by the roaming herds of photographers lugging tripods, multiple camera bodies, and assorted high-end gear around.
Interpretation, my friend. Interpretation. I didn't like the original version too much. Not enough swords and machine guns.You must have read a different version to me.
That's just some rather spiffy layering in Photoshop.
