    Awwwwww Ben ...man. I thought it was going to be a picture of you, Jeff or Harry with a longing look for a Canon. eek7.gifrolleyes1.gif


    Nice egret. Looks like several I have in my collection. I bet it's a relative of the bird in my shots. 1drink.gifthumb.gif

    The bird might not realize how lucky he is. No amputations that I see. All feathers and body parts are intact.

    And you got a great photo anyway. I do like that photo. Especially w the spin you put on it.

    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    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!"

    Hey Harry
    Given the large amount of time he posed I actually used the opportunity to shoot in all meter moods.
    I like the spot meter shot best because it held the details and evening light in the Egret (the ocean was full of bright highlights). Even then it was a bit underexp and brought it back with D-Light
    Matrix & CWA metering needed at least -2 EV to give the same result.
    Finally I like the Egrets look in the spot meter shot better then the rest.
