There is a fine line between a hobby and mental illness!

    These are really great, Jody. bowdown.gif Best loon set ever! clap.gif

    I'm wondering how shots 8 and 9 were done. It's a great effect. Was it intentional?

    Cheers,

    5, 12, and 15 are my favorites. I love shots of birds just skimming the surface.

    Beautiful!

    You have quite a collection of "Wall Hangers", here, Jody!! Just beautiful. Colours are gorgeous!! I'm particularly fond of # 5.... What was your aperture set at on that one?... dof looks very shallow! Very nice effect!

    I've died and gone to heaven! Loons are my all time favorite birds. iloveyou.gif I just love everything about them. As always you have shown them in a most beautiful light. It's all about the light anyway.

    Please drop us sky shooters a few tidbits on your tecniques.
