Hi Y'all,

I have just posted the latest info on MI V here.
On Thursday Harris (backdoctor) and Bernie (Popeye) stopped by in the afternoon and we shot for a couple of hours. The light this time of the year is beautiful and as always the Viera Wetlands provided some photo ops.

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!"

    I think its just you. :D The only shot where I see some motion blur is the tri-color heron. The shadows cast on the snowy egret's wing also gives the appearance of blur.
