That's all she wrote for tonight. Wasn't planning on shooting....but saw this bird sitting in the tree out back. Ran out and nailed 'em. clap.gif I'll have to go back and do a better PP job of it. Some serious problems with that one. ISO 800 didn't help. Neither did the late evening low light. Things could be much worse. It could have been a darn night heron...AGAIN. icon10.gif

Cheers

    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!"

    You sure have a nice backyard, and a pretty good hammer for nailing birds with, too, birdman.


    good job, I like him,

    I'm still wondering what you were talking about? Is there some blue that showed up after burning in some details? ne_nau.gifheadscratch.gif

    Lovely BIF! thumb.gif

    Now that meniscus on the other hand :cry j/k, I had surgery for a similar tear last year. Was up and walking in no time. Arthroscopic surgery is truly amazing, 20 yrs ago a repair like that would have required an open procedure and a very long recovery.

    Get well soon,

    Thanks Steve. I think a hot single lady nurse would sure speed up recovery. :D
