    Good GBH set Ric. clap.gif

    Do you ever use flash for your bird shots?

    I ask because I have not, but I'm learning that it is a good thing to do, and I'm going to be getting a Better Beamer to try with my EX II. What do you think?

    Thanks, Dan.:D

    Nothing wrong with using a flash! You can get those little ones in the thicket (shadows) that way.

    For me...nope. Just more stuff to carry around. I barely have a handle on what I'm doing as it is! :lol

    When they are setting themselves up for the landing they can provide some unusual looks with high speed captures.

    Thanks, Bud. :D

    Nice set, Ric. Though I must say GBHs are much more attractive with their mouths shut... Then again I guess people are too ne_nau.gif

    Great images Ric! I'm glad that you are finally getting some nice weather!
    You have done well with your GBH's ... I think that you almost have them trained. Maybe soon you can get one to land on your hand! rolleyes1.gif

    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!"
