Russ, Ron, Jeff, and I went down to Bolsa last week so I have a few that need captions.

    It is so refreshing to see other shots from Bolsa than the ones I took, and excellent captures to boot clap.gifclap.gifclap.gif
    #7 is my personal favorite
    We'll have to plan another trip back to Bolsa so I can at least try to emulate what I've witnessed here...:D
    Great job Williamthumb.gif

    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!"

    Love them all William, Great action, clarity and composition, nice work, I really like #7 the tern with the anchovy, I might have cropped that one a little tighter to bring out the detail in the fishclap.gifclap.gifclap.gif

    Thank you very much, I'm glad you like them. I began with the D70, D70s, and now I am using the D200 with a 300MM f/4. Both of which I am very pleased. :D:D:D
