    Nice detail on the grackle. Those glossy feathers can be a chore to expose. thumb.gif

    Jeff,

    #2 rocksthumb.gif Totally unique shot. Seems like just yesterday you were cussing out your D70 and ready to toss it into the Bolsa lagoon...and now bees and hummers in the same shot! Does your new gear ever cuss you out for being too slow?rolleyes1.gifDrolleyes1.gif

    Seriously, these look outstanding!!

    Great series, Jeff. The hummer with the bee shots are really cool, and you did a very good job handling the exposure in the grackle shot. thumb.gif

    thank you I have been ok with my last 2 trys one a RWBB and This one of the Grackle if you wait and take the shot with a little less than bright light then be very careful with background you can get it without blowing out too many blinkies :D and showing color and depth in the shadows -thanks again for commenting
