Escape from the BACKYARD!!!!

Osprey Whisperer

I hope you poker playin' machine gunning old guys are sitting down. :huh :rofl

Took my own machine gun out and ventured past the confines of the backyard to the local marina. Took some pelicans in flight shots over the weekend. Wow...I can't believe there are birds outside my backyard. :scratch :thumb :clap These will probably have to hold me over until next week. :dunno :cry Will be pretty busy the next few days. I could have used one of those dreaded tele-converters I've heard so much about. :rofl Actually that 400mm f/2.8 would have been nice. Had to use a relatively high ISO and do some cropping to get these birds to fill the frame. This 200mm is a bit "short" at times. I guess I could have waded out in the water to get a bit closer. :thumb

Cheers

Nice Series both of the PIF's and the Closer ups. The second series is a bit nicer though.

All good Mike might want to watch your sharpening I can see some halo around a few of them.
Or if you used LCM watch your settings

What are you getting at, Ben? Are you saying I'm too sharp??

I over do the sharpening? So sue me. It looks alright to me.:): Time for a sexy lady assistant with a nice pair of eyes..... perhaps. :uhoh

Thanks folks. Always appreciate the comments and the looksees.
