When Harry Met Adam

Last week I had a chance to escape the cold of MN for 48 hours on a business trip to the central coastline of Florida. As usual, I had a few down hours (actually one entire day) so I hooked up with Harry and we shot the wetlands.

I'm still sorting through my images but here's a few from my first CF card.

Harry, I want to thank you for graciously being my guide on this trip. I had a great time shooting with you and look forward to seeing you in the very near future!!

    I'm just glad this thread wasn't about Harry doing what Meg Ryan did at Katz's Deli :uhoh

    Outstanding set Adam. I was thrilled that the locals came out for your visit. I wasn't expecting the caracara to get that close to us though. It was great getting to meet you and to shoot with you.

    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!"

    Back in my NYC days Andy and I ate at Katz's a number of times. Andy's reaction to the pastrami did bring back memories of Meg Ryan's scene at that location.

    Great shots, Adam! I'm amazed you got such a huge variety of birds in a single day of shooting. I need to make it out that way some day. nod.gif

    Thanks Andy. We grabbed take out at his favorite pizza joint so he wouldn't do a "Meg" in public. :-)

    About 1/2 500mm and 1/2 100-400. There were times when the 500mm was just too much lens.

    Thanks Joel. You really should consider making the trip. The area really has a large number of photo ops.
