Hey I resemble that remark

I even remember that part :lo4

#2 and 3

also alot of our shots require good form let me demonstrate

Rohirrim · October 13, 2005

Nice series and story line Jeff.

I noted you had the focus on the "other" end of the bird in that first shot.

Good shots Jeff. There's room for an improvement but that would require a better model.

Jeff,

That Ben shore has some skinny legs

So you're saying that you use Ben as sort of a decoy? So all the other herons and egrets will figure it's safe to land in front of your lens, right?...

You guys are almost as bad as Harry and his stuffed waterfowl collection

FWIW, I believe they sell those stuffed GBH's and wood storks at the Orlando Airport gift shop

Jus' kiddin' and some nice GBH shots

You know the camera puts on about 5-10lbs, so I gotta keep it light

Yeah and I get paid Squat

nobody could be as bad as Wildman Harry :rambo :lol4

Nice captures, Jeff. I knew Ben was a bird brain...but wow.. Not much meat on his bones. Nowonder he has to cut off parts of his birds and chow down on them.

you got it I messed up my focus was a little too much on the wrong end I wanted to get the moment he let me walk with him with out taking off ,we went thru the moment of fear and flight and he said you are not going to kill me lets walk and eat ,the close up is him that is not a crop .he was eating dragon flys but I walked away he let me have my time and I wanted to leave him alone
