Hi Y'all,

With the recent visit of my son's family I'm a bit behind on my post work but I still have a few leftovers from earlier shoots.

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!"

    Nice series Harry. Are all these birds starting to look the same to you? ne_nau.gifheadscratch.gif:D I think there are only half a dozen of each bird down here...and they just make the rounds to the various rookeries and wetlands. rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks Mike.

    Everything looks the same Mike. Birds, sunsets, sunrises, people, flowers, buildings, etc. Its not the subject so much as its the light, the moment, the action, the pose and your technique.

    There's this one GBH in the wetlands that I've been shooting for close to 3 years now. He's a good heron because he poses well, catches stuff and doesn't charge too much for a session. :lol

    Harry, you make me want to move to Florida and join your shadow. I'm sure your shadow must feel kind of crowded by now.
    Anyway, nice to have you commenting and posting again. thumb.gif

    Thanks. I love getting shots of the chicks "interacting" with their parents. The lighting on those shots were aided by my SB-800 and better beamer.

    Thanks Russ but you can't come to Florida. I have been against anyone else moving down here and any new construction ever since I had my house finished. rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks very much Al. You will love retirement. It really frees up your time to get some real shooting in.
