cool! I think that pic is the only one I have worth showing.. i am sure not a big city photog. Thanks again Airic, it sure was a good time, even though we only made the PM part of the day. I was watching you all closely, and I sure am looking fwd to seeing just exactly what the heck you all were doing out there!!

 

[AIRIC]

Ray, I have to say you did not look as comfortable today as you do when you are wading through a swamp with no pants on to shoot some Herons. Today’s wildlife was a little different from what you usually shoot. It was sure nice to see you Daisy and Maria again. I have already shown Berni the photos I took of Maria and she loved them. I will post some soon, sure glad you guys made it.

Great shots so far!!!!

 

[AIRIC]

This guy was pretty cool and enjoyed having his photo taken. I think he made a few dollars off of us. I’m not really happy with my images of him and I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone else got.

I'm getting sleepy now. I may have to call it for a night and start back on the editing tomorrow evening.

Cheers,

Eric

 

[Chiller]

Excellent images Airic. It was really amazing to see everyone. The weather held off, but it was really windy. We did have to dodge a few signs along the way.
This is my first edit as well..more in a few minutes.

GOM....soon man...ya gotta come out and play. Hopefully around Christmas we can do something

Eric

Now that's funny .... yes, you had to be there

It was great meeting everyone (in person) today. Unfortunately, I'm sad to say, I'm not very happy with any of my shots though. Oh well... it was a great experience!

Here is my rendition of the reflection.... Hey Carl... what were you looking at?
