june gloom

this overcast california june gloom is getting me (and my shots) down. ...(see: major depressive disorder with seasonal modifyer)

checked out a great site for birding with a few lads from the dgrin crew yesterday and all my shots are gloomish, so i let some of the backgrounds go to all white.

these two terns were fighting over one fish. i call it "as the world terns"

this dude scored (with a blue sky behind him, i might have too)

hope this little guy is worth a third look

as everyone and their brother seem to have a pic of him

bout as close to a raptor as i may ever come

i call this one, "egret and night heron share dirty, and somewhat suspicious water"

one of my first night heron shots... (just a few more..bare with me here)

and now, my speciality: the slightly OOF, partially blown, somewhat noisey, egret in flight!

thanks for viewing, and please take my commentary lightly. this is what happens to me when i sit in front of a computer for 8 hours taking practice exams.

Excellent shots Jeff. You did very well considering you had the other Jeff and en with you. You were wroking with a major handicap.

harry, my friend...you have no idea!

actually, (all canon vs nikon, senior citizen, and handlebar mustache jokes aside

) they are both a ton of fun to shoot with!

very cool dudes indeed

Khaos · June 14, 2005

I missed this post before! There is a shot of one of you: which one? I seem to be dense this AM. May be all those days in the southeast heat.

I love the shoe shot.

Also, love the "everything wrong about it bird shot".:D My kind of shooting!

thanks for stopping by ginger! unfortunately, the shot is of me trying to do 2 things at once: 1. jump my way out of the deep mud i foolishly wandered into and 2. hide behind a bush from jeffW and Ben who started shooting at me.

i'm pretty upset about that picture they posted of me

if anyone from Milan sees it my modeling career is over
