Nothing exciting, just wanted to test my new Avatar. Thanks Khaos :thumb :D

Thought I'd lower SS and try a little panning

    Hey Ben,

    The skimmer shot is excellent. clap.gif

    Your new avatar sucks, its too small. You need a close-up to make it work.

    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 call Jeff. I miscalled that bird. A tern is a much tougher shoot too.

    Hey MACHINE GUN, some nice captures you got here. I like the tern also. I'm just curious...???? If you took off that darn TC...would you have got the whole heron in the shot without cutting off his wings? ne_nau.gifrolleyes1.gif

    Hey...did our poker game end?:uhoh

    I've not done much shooting the last few days. Been busy visiting doctors and all. Knee surgery scheduled the 2nd. So..hopefully in a couple weeks after that...I'll be out and about shooting BIF again. I did pick up an extension tube for the Boom Boom (Canon). I went out front and shot a spider and some lizard thingy..... just to try it. Maybe I'll post a couple pics if I have anything worthwhile.

    Keep the finger on the trigger..."machine gun".

    Nice tern.............wonder where they are..........they are here in the winter. I got a skimmer last summer. Haven't seen any of those birds this summer. It is hot. How is the heat in California? I don't hear complaints.

    Yes, your Avatar, well, you have it! That is good. I have seen it here and when you responded to my thread, I am still trying to be sure I know what it is.

    Is it a bird with head in water?

    Harry is right, for an avatar it should be a close up of something.

    Yes if I took the TC off I would not have clipped that puppy, but then I would not of gotten any shot cause he'd be history before I was ready :lol4
