That's a Bison actually.

This

is a Buffalo, and they live in Africa.

All political correctness aside. Buffalo and Bison are both used interchangeably, especially in the Midwest/West.

In Kentucky, we mostly stick to "bison."

First Picture I took in Korea



This was just before PT one morning at Ft Drum....catching pogs shamming out of PT with my Droid.



You can see my camera in this but I thought it was cool you could see the other people riding the lift with me.

All your photos seem to be lacking a lot of sharpness and detail.  Can you post the exif (shutter speed, aperture and ISO) data?  Where you on auto or manual focus?  Something is not right.  I'm not bustin' your chops just wanna help you get better.

Either...  A) you need a faster shutter speed, higher ISO, or best of all a tripod and remote release. or
             B) You're slightly out of focus, or
             C) you got a really crappy lens (which happens a lot with SLR  "kits" )

PS. Since this is a photo thread I'll throw in a shameless plug for me www.kirksagers.com  <-needs some updating badly but I haven't worked on it for a long time.  I get frustrated with website stuff, it's difficult for me  :bhead

Actually it was probably just a mix between me shaking from the coffee and the fact that I haven't taken photos in a month and was trying to get used to focusing manually again. I think the holly and the pine cones aren't too bad, though. I am still green at this and I was taking photos in low-light conditions with a reasonable amount of snow around, it was tricky.

It should also be mentioned that I experimented with a slower shutter and a much lower ISO than usual.

$350 75mm-300mm lens, not crappy at all.

Well...  everything is relative I guess.  $350 is pretty cheap for a lens in the 300mm range.  I wouldn't expect too much from it.  Most zoom lenses, with the exception of the really high end stuff will never resolve as well as a good prime, especially in the corners.   Some of them will have a "sweet spot" somewhere in the zoom range (at the right aperture too) where they are great, but then they get softer at any other focal length or aperture.
