It has been a long time since I posted a picture. Dgrin is my favorite photography site, so I check you guys out alot. You are a constant source of education and inspiration. Anyway I am a little shy, so I guess that makes me a member/lurker. Oh well, it is spring and I live in Florida. So here are my contributions from the Alligator Farm.

If you can't see their eyes - It's a butt shot.

Sometimes you can see their eyes and it is still a butt shot.

    Those are terrific shots Gayle clap.gif Well composed, perfectly exposed and with excellent details. Am I right in assuming you took these with your 18-200 lens?

    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!"

    Thank you Shepsmom and Harry. It feels wonderful to have such nice comments. Harry, you are right... all shots with my D200 and 18-200 lens.

    By the way, again it was nice meeting you on Wednesday. That was the first time that I have met any Dgrinners in person when I met you and Harry.

    Hello Everyone-

    Sorry, it took me so long to reply, but I was not near a computer all day yesterday. Thank you all for such nice comments. I will try to start posting and replying to other post more often.
    Shepsmom, right now the 18-200 is my only lens. So, I have really worked on finding out the best kind of shots for that lens. It is a wonderful travel lens, birds in flight are a completely different story.
    Keith, it was nice meeting you on Wednesday.
