They look a LOT better in the air than on a shelf!

I couldn't agree with you more!

Thanks! This was actually taken with a 300mm telephoto prime lens and not a zoom lens. Prime lenses always give you the best quality photos with more resolution and contrast, etc. I probably use this lens in about 70 percent of my photography, especially for macro work besides the telephoto.

Wow your lense makes all the difference in the world when capturing the essence of a nice insulator! Great shot and find all around.

Thanks James!
