Groovy man and thanks Harry. I appreciate the comment. It was a very strange day for lighting...and just in general. I've never seen our beach so empty. No people..no birds...and a T-storm rolling in from the East coast...very sureal. It was not the best lighting for the "usual" shots..but did offer up an interesting look at the bird. He was backlighted..and wasn't really sure how much to underexpose the dark brown bird. Sort of have my egrets dialed in now..but this is the first waiding bird (sandpiper?) that I've captured.
Here are a couple more........ just for the birders here. :uhoh
Cheers

I love those shots. Its easy to do a capture in good light but to get these results in adverse conditions requires some serious skills.

Thanks Harry. Flattery will get you a long way...but I'm not switchinng back over to Nikon...and I'm not taking back what I said about the "popularity contest". :uhoh I will make sure there is lots of cold Corona and pineapple FREE pizza on the boat if you ever do get over this way.

What makes you think that us Nikonians would have you? We only want pro-blue folks. As for the "popularity contest" crack, don't take it back. We don't want to harm your macho rep.
The cold Corona and pizza sans the pineapple sounds good though.

You guys don't know what your missing
Pineapple on pizza is an acquired taste I guess :lol4
Yikes!
I shot this I think last week. It is one of those shots that I had to keep going back too. I was going to trash it...then decided I would share it. I was caught off guard by these fighting kingfishers. I am amazed it came out at all.
Not a picture perfect shot...but more a wow...my trigger finger was right on...:D
Well a pic of two kingfishers!!!!! Just keep rubbing it in. Maybe I could cut my finger and you could come by and rub salt in the wound.

thats what i call a great capture ,i wished we nailed every shot but then our name would be ron reznick ,and even he misses now and then ,great shot we all know how hard they are to get .the other day i was within 20 feet twice and did not get one shot .any kingfisher shot is a good shot

nahhh the only thing i rub salt on is the rim of my margarita glass. This was shot at the click ponds...I think 100% crop. The came out of nowhere and I struggled like hel* to get my camera out the window:D I never expected to see them there because there are no trees...but the little boogers were hiding n the grasses I guess..Keep trying...with that stinkin' 500mm you should be able to get 'em from yur' hot tub!

Thanks! I'll keep it on file till I get a great shot:D
Nice shot. You are becoming a real pain I hope you know. :smack

Nice shot. You are becoming a real pain I hope you know. :smack
Yeah, I have been thinking the same thing..................
And you started, Harry, if one of you isn't better after a shoot the other one is.
no reason for some of us to shoot anymore, whine, whine, whine, as nauseum....
However, you know this guy with 4Labs, he used this great technique with an
annoying cell phone.
So, you all have done so much else, hehe, I hate to suggest this, it pains me,
but in the interest of ME, uh, could you guys, uh, run over all Nikon equipment.
We can all carry Point and shoots, same brand, make size features, or DSLRs, same deal, but not what we are used to something different, like the camera Andy just sold. So then we would all be on the same level. Not the equipment, just the photographer and the shootoff to beat all............
now that is a challenge, :beatwax :duel :bash :rambo :flash
Thanks for your fine contribution here. These are our first Pakistani reflections.

Its never about the equipment. Heck we all know that our poor ole Nikons can't compete with all these shiny new Canons.

I just push the button . With all that money I saved buying a Canon...I pay someone else to do all that boring stuff. See...you should have bought a Canon.

Exactly my point. I take the pictures (drive the car)...but don't mess with the PP (change the oil) You know I'm kidding..DOH!!! I'm still figuring out this PP stuff. It's not like the darkroom. :uhoh
