    What incredible talent!!! I got chills just looking at his owl gallery, they were awesome...and the double-fisted catch by the osprey wasn't shabby either. Did you invite him to join Dgrin? Looks like the fishing is good in Norway!!! clap.gif

    In his two word bio at: http://www.photopoints.com/main/photos/photographer.aspx?ID=4571

    He claims, "Amateur photographer".

    Yikes!!! Then what am I?headscratch.gif

    Seriously, this is a world-class photographer, Pro level if I ever saw one. Google for him. He's everywhere.

    I know him. He is a moderator at a nature site frequented by good amatuers and pros. He is very helpful with critiques and seems really nice.

    Bob, send him a note, tell him we noticed him, and pimped him here on Dgrin. Maybe he'll join us and share from time to time. thumb.gif Show him this thread...

    Would you? We'd be very grateful!

    Unbelievable....
    Check out the video, it is his greatest hits in a photedex slide show...

    Also, he has some features to his web-site that I am interested, the thumbnail when hovering on next and back and the thumbs up/thumbs down..

    Thanks sharing this Andy..

    Well, that is nice! Gorgeous photos, but he says that he likes to give his photos an artistic feel............................well...................how????

    They certainly look like they have something uniquely and uniformly different...............but how???

    I want to know how. I would never sharpen my photos like that, but if it would do it, I would, but I don't think that is it.

    Some people here have "unique" styles that surpass the norm in photography, I often suspect actions (I don't even know what that word means), but I suspect a program that I don't know about.

    I suspect one with his stuff, too.

    The reason I went to his site was to find out about the nature group. It is not mentioned.

    Is there a nice nature group that I might want to look into? Or at?

    Hey...
    If anyone has the chance to meet with this guy please inform him to keep those birds in chages and that he must buy me a new CRT. One of them just popped out and cracked my display.

    Welcome to Dgrin Miguel wave.gif and you, quite possibly have, the finest set of bird and wildlife shots posted on your gallery, that I have ever seen. It's enough to make me give up shooting birds....lol Either that, or get me to start taking birding as seriously as, and putting in the hours and effort, you obviously do.

    I won't bore you will any more superlatives. I just wanted you to know your images have inspired and motivated me clap.gif

    His home page says 1D Mark II and 500 and 300 lenses.

    Even with a 500 I can't believe the action you've captured in your shots. I think my favorites would have to be the Eagles playing in the snow. I think you must be invisable or something to get that close to the action.
