Salton Sea Redux

Angelo

OK OK, so I was at the Salton Sea Wildlife Refuge with Joel, William and Russ.

Yes THEY did get far better shots of all the flapping rats than I could ever hope for. Yes they own cameras and lenses that would put any National Geographic photographer to shame.

BUT.... let's just see if they can accomplish captures like these using my Verizon camera-phone!!!

:huh :wink :rofl :rolleyes

All kidding aside, the three amigos did a wonderful job capturing the birds of SS. I was very disappointed with my captures. These three are the only ones, out of the dozens, I felt remotely worthy enough of processing just to prove I wasn't phoning it in!


The other shots are here: http://angelo.smugmug.com/gallery/2466798#129380668



Thanks for looking.

Errr, Angelo you're a Mod now, and everyone knows that mods only get good shots. :ivar

There's nothing wrong with your post Angelo, in fact where can I get that telephone. The exposures are right on considering they're white birds, and the composition is fine, so keep on shooting.

These camera phones are darned good these days.
I'm planning to travel light next time.:D

Great shooting with you.
BTW, you got some awesome landscape shots of the Salton Sea area on your website.
Were those also taken with the Verizon CP?

Awesome! That would be great. Hopefully the drought eases up. If LA needs the water, I'm sure they won't be sending it to the Salton Sea.

Hard to believe it's been 8 years since our trip there. You ever hear from those other two guys?

Yes, hard to believe it's been 8 years and sadly no, haven't chatted with Ben or Jeff in some time.
