great set of shots!

kdog · January 9, 2007

Love the story line.

Well, you've done it again, William. That's a magnificent set of images. I love 'em all. You have a way of nailing these critters in their best light. Since I was there, I know how difficult some of these shots were. That GBH flight shot was in an narrow opening that the bird suddenly flashed across in a fraction of a second. You have amazing reflexes my friend. And your osprey in the stream shot came out great as well. Much better than any of mine did, which is a bit troubling.

Maybe you switched memory cards with me when I wasn't looking. :giggle

I learned a lot from you and Jeff, and will look forward to hooking up again some time soon.

Nope, I missed the TV with his lunch hanging from the beak, but it was exciting to watch a TV swoop down and catch live prey. Thanks for the compliment.:D

Switch card? No.....As I said.....I just tear out pages from NG. I'm just hoping no one will notice that I get my best shots when shooting alone. I'm also glad you were there not only as a witness, but for the pleasure of meeting you and the good time we all had. Thanks for the compliment; but you give me far to much credit, but..... I will greatfully accept. Jeff's idea of the Salton Sea sounds good to me, so maybe soon we can arrange a group to meet over there for a Desert photographic session. Always fun to meet new people, and exchange ideas. Looking forward to seeing more of your work, and seeing you again soon.
