Here is an Osprey that I shot as I passed through Harry's area on the way to the Everglades. Harry's shot a lot of these, but I don't get much of a chance to practice the way he does. I have to shoot them sitting still.

Getting late so no original to link to for EXIF. It was shot in the daytime with a camera. :D

    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!"

    Although not an osprey in flight, still a very nice capture. Well done Dixie.

    We're privileged to own a camera and that we are in the condition to snap a pic. Every picture has a story and is for us to tell for years to come.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Dick.
