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!"

    Really cool photos, Harry!

    I was thinking that I might see the people eating, or something.

    Could you guys down there shoot each other?

    (i would ask if you all can shoot "people" shots, but being pros, or practically, I know you can shoot people! Please give me some dGrinners)

    Thanks Al, those birds are amaing at getting that food down their throats. I haven't seen anything like it since the last time I ate with Andy. rolleyes1.gif

    The shutter speed was fast because I was in aperture priority shooting a white bird on a bright day plus I had a -.3 EV adjustment. I would have lowered the ISO more but I didn't have time if I wanted to capture the sequence.

    They have lots of practice swallowing fish so they have it down to a science. This was a lucky catch. There was a very large group of snowy and great egrets in this on epond on Merritt Island. They were feeding but mostly on very small fish. I took a few shots of the group and then I noticed this one great egret in the group with this very large fish. There were around 12 of us shooting and I was the only one to notice because everyone else was shooting another target. :D

    Now, Andy, why is that dGrinner scaring the H out of that poor woman in what I assume is a shower?

    Harry, et al, act nice!
