could kill myself for cutting his wing :wxwax

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Good job! Now that will encourage you to go shoot some more :): :): :):

    But those adorable little sea lions! Wow, you were lucky there, they came out great, where were you? It looks like you were in the water yourself!

    Looks like you had a great day Ben. I enjoyed your series. We are 13 miles inland and a pelican was sitting on my neighbors roof once day! Poor thing looked lost, so we called the a.services. to take him back to the beach.

    Good ones Ben thumb.gifthumb.gif


    Love those seals. Great exposure clap.gifclap.gif


    eek7.gif You cut off that poor pelican's wing rolleyes1.gif What a rookie. :lol As Harry points out, most of us have hundreds (if not more) shots of birds with less than 2 wings....Laughing.gif Between these and bird butt shots, I could fill a 100gb drive ne_nau.gif
