    I love the soft light on the wood duck hen and the peregrine falcon bifs are excellent, but what magic trick was that tern using? It seemed to be melting into the sky. :D

    Thanks Maestro! Just using slow shutter speed with a little flash. Some fun things to try when the weather is really overcast.

    WOW!! bowdown.gifbowdown.gif

    Love the wood duck. the detail, the light on the water, the drop of water on the beak. Great stuff. And your terns are looking like hummingbirds! I love the blur effect.

    Great series!

    Glenn, an excellent set. The falcon shots are awesome, and the Tern shots beautifully one. Of the Tern shots, I like the last one best.

    Thanks Mike! Peregrines, along with ospreys are my favorite raptors to photograph.

    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!"
