I wanted to go to Merritt Island on Saturday but Harry convinced me to go to Viera Wetlands. Actually I did both but Merritt Island was kinda dead. Here are a few shots that I took. I hope that you like them and please let me know what you think, good or bad.

    I think you have yourself some great captures. I really like 6,7 and 9. All pics are in focus and show some nice sandhill behaviors. My only nit is that they are just a tad dark, at least on my monitor, but good nonetheless. Perhaps some fill flash would have been in order.

    Thanks,
    I have a flash extender but I haven't really figured out how to use it yet. I've tried a few times but with no luck.

    If you have the beamer, this article may help you if you haven't already read it.

    Looks like you shot the same sandhills I caught that afternoon. I hoped you liked the wetlands and I apologize for not telling you to check out the click ponds also.

    Good captures but I would try to lighten then up a tad in my post work.

    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!"

    Should all of them be lightened?

    1, 4, 6 and 8 seem to need more light to me.
