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!"

    Loved them all, but the 'bad feather day' shot is comical. Not much neck to hold that big head though :oogle .

    The next time you take a photo of a perfectly good power line can you through a rock at that stinkin' bird first -he's ruining the shot! :D

    In all seriousness I really like your style of photography -the compositions are excellent! I also appreciate how difficult it is to expose for white feathers -but you make it look easy clap.gif

    Hey Jeff,

    Thanks for stopping by. I got the KF all on my own. It may take awhile but if the bird is there I'm going to get him sooner or later. With the kingfisher it just happened to be later. biggrinbounce2.gif

    Thanks David. Their necks look real narrow until you watch it expand as they swallow their prey.

    Thanks very much. It took lots of shots and a few workshops to learn how to correctly nail those exposures.

    I love the cara cara, I have never seen one of those inperson.

    Harry i hope you get out and about soon. But If you are bored you could always start an online tutorail on getting those whites perfect. :):

    Awesome shots! When I saw the post I thought you were out and about again. I hope you got your walking papers today!

    I like them all, especially the bad feather day, and I like the arching stem framing the little blue heron.
    Wonderful set! As usual.
