Hi You'll,

I resisted, honestly, but every time I took a walk they were there. I'm so ashamed, more cute baby Sandhill pics.

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!"

    Howdy Harry!

    Aren't they just adorable, and damned hard to resist. We feed 'em cracked corn from a big bucket so we get to see them everyday. Please tell me that isn't a cigarrette butt the fledgling has in its beak in shot #2!

    Very nice and I just love 'em!

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW!

    I woulda done it, too. Of course then, I have no morals along those lines.

    Did you see the work I did yesterday. It was only for the Challenge. I went downtown and I did/done it!!!! Even Andy liked them. I like the ones Andy liked. And some more, but I am leaning to Pretty In Pink. Maybe you could look to the Challenge thread and tell me what you think. It is my thread for the challenge, it says #2 at the end, as I had another thread started that was pathetic.

    I am still tired, but not quite as sore as I was this AM. But my throat hurts. Maybe I should go to church tonight and get blessed, they have free food on Wed, but I don't want to go out.

    I love our babies!

    I have been learning to sharpen with high pass, I am going to put up a thread shortly only for you. I am going to say that on the subj line. They were all marginal to blurred, but I like the subject, story, etc.
    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    That first shot is adorable Harry thumb.gifthumb.gif I think that may be the first time I've ever described one of your shots that way.....lol Well, other than the ones of Andy's face when he looks lovingly at a rack o ribs :lol (The proverbial kid in the Candy Store....lol)

    Those chicks are really cute. Got some big feet too....lol

    Great exposures, really nice subjects and composed well too thumb.gifthumb.gif

    Thanks for sharing these cuties with us,

    Isn't Sandhill Road where all the VC are located? Whoops. Wrong thread :D

    Harry, are you shooting with a different camera? The color in these seems more
    vibrant. They're great pictures.

    Hey Ian,

    Same camera, I just got my new D2H today. Hopefully by Friday I'll be able to give it a workout. I used my 24-120 VR and my 300mm lens for these shots and they have better color and contrast than the 80-400 that I've used for a lot of my shots.
