Shot at the rookery in St. Augustine yesterday with my good buddy Harry. He was kind enough to share his toys and play nice. Got some great shots with his 500mm! Have tons to process but these stood out:

    Excellent captures Trish, glad you enjoyed playing with the 500mm. We still haven't had really good light this year yet. Hopefully we will get better light on our next trip.

    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!"

    Thanks Stephan,

    The sun was a bit bright so I got some blowout, but I like it anyway.
