A couple of shots from a few weeks ago. I was actually out trying to shoot some Ospreys that were hunting in the area, when this GBH just wouldn't go away. I've never had that problem before, usually you just look at them and they are gone, at least around here.

    Nice captures.

    GBHs can be very frustrating or very satisfying.

    Nicely done.

    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 Harry. Look forward to seeing more from you. Our weather has turned somewhat nasty up here, so for the time being having to go back through some past images.

    Thanks, I appreciate your comments. On that first shot the GBH was very close to me, that was a full frame shot.
