I've been slacking lately, if you've noticed :D

I decided to finally get my bum off the couch and go shooting. It cought few birds here and there, nothing magnificent.

Enjoy!

    Nice set, Marina. Those large water birds are quite spectacular, but the snowy is really the beauty of them all.

    Thank you Ann. It's so much easier to take picture of large birds, i don't even bother with little ones. They're too quick to fly away Laughing.gif.

    Beautiful compositions, Marina. thumb.gif

    You're really nailing the exposure and focus in those shots. The birds practically fly out of the pictures. nod.gif

    Very nice series. I especially like 12 where it appears that on of the birds is listening to its iPod with a small headset.

    Maybe so!

    The reason I asked is that one of these (I think) hangs out at the pond by my son's place.
