It was a crappy overcast day...so...nothing very good today. I thought the Coot shot with the gray water was kind of interesting.

    I like the first shot.
    The color and motion of the water around the coot is very cool. thumb.gif

    Hey Ric
    anyday we can shoot good, right ? :D

    I'm not sure that's a AF problem, could be a serious dust bunny invasion rolleyes1.gif

    Yes!

    I was thinking while I was out today....that it is really the experience that counts and not whether you made a good shot or not.

    I did find an eagle (or big hawk) nest today. I saw a raptor circling and perching all around the meadow. I think it was waiting for me to leave. I located possible shooting locations....so...the day may not have been a total bust.

    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!"
