Im curious on what type of camera you have to have gotten those shots. I have a Nikon D40 and have thought about upgrading because it has some dust from Iraq messing with one of the electronic filters. Also, do you have any pointers with HDR (High Dynamic Range: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_d....._range_imaging) imaging for wildlife or is it literally impossible with the fact that no animal will sit still for three shots.

These were all taken with an old D50 and a cheap-o 70-300mm Tamron lens, was like 150 bucks. Lighting is of the essence, I haven't done any HDR really, haven't found it interesting enough to warrant all the work it takes..
