Well since this is my first post here, I’d just like to say Hi to everyone.

Followed by a few Sandhills

    Way to go for your first post! thumb.gif
    You have some great captures there. I particularly like the third image. I'd think that's about as close to a mid-air collision as these birds can get, without actually touching each other. :)

    Thanks to everyone that commented on my Sandys.

    Bob, I drive through your lovely town on my way to the dragon. You guys have some nice bike riding country there. thumb.gif

    Great job on these! You may be new to Dgrin, but I'm guessing you're not new to bird photography. These are really good. thumb.gifthumb.gif

    The light 1/2 hour before sunset gives these guys a nice golden glow. I just wish I had a longer, faster lens. Most of these are shot at ISO 800 and cropped 80-100%. So at that size there quite noisy. Gotta love that new NR in LR3.

    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!"
