    Photography isn't about the Zone System or any other Ansel Adams nonsense.
    It's simply about seeing. You either see or you don't see, the rest is
    academic.

    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!"

    thanks Harry --I always give it my best that was one of the first shots handheld on the run I was afraid the ravens would chase the eagle --umph.gif lesson #1 eagles are #1--ravens are bold but not stupid even 3 of them did not move him [her] :D just gave them the look clap.gif it was a great day finding that bird we never saw another the rest of the day --it pays to have an eagle eye rolleyes1.gif oh yea it was the 300mm I got a while back that shot it thumb.gif

    thanks Steve I have a few more that i think are better will post later -the best thing was they have a captured bird they bring in and show the folks for $5 they drive her in a station wagon zip her indoors close all the windows with the blinds down turn off the lights and the ranger says to me but you can take pictures just set to 400 and shot -- i put the $5 in the gas tank and went looking mwink.gif
