Hello folks,
Worked up some more osprey shots I thought I would share with you. All taken from the boat, again. Hand held. 200mm (sometimes with 1.4x tc).
Thanks for looking.

    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!"

    Any room left on the boat for one more...me? mwink.gif
    These are some of the best osprey shots so far, and taken with a 200mm.
    They must be used to your presence.
    Anyway, great series Mike

    Thanks DB. Sorry for the delay in responding. I have been unable to access Dgrin for several days. Seems us Floridians on Comcast cable have had server issues with Comcast and could not access this site or Smugmug. Probably thought my osprey ate me or something. The peace and quite is over... :D

    Thanks for looking and commenting. Keep tying to shoot the osprey. You'll get some good ones soon. I didn't have a single osprey shot just a little over a year ago. Now...I don't know what to do with all of them. (about a 1,000) eek7.gif:D
