Hey Jaca, no offense, but I think I'll have her teach me to shoot birds. Nice photos

I get a lot of that. I used to think it was a joke, but now my feelings are hurt

And guess what - she's out shooting again without me this morning.

With any kind of luck, she will give you her old photography gear that she has outgrown.

hahah wait til he reads that last thing hahha

Really, I'll be off the hook after that. lol

Double Whateverrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

That camera should be here today, and I know you did some weird dance to bring all this gloomy weather. Of course it was perfect weather for you the last two days. Hmmffff..

And what the heck? It may rain this weekend! Worse drought in years and rain the weekend I get the stupid camera. 100% sure you had something to do with it. You probably want to cuddle huh? Huh? Admit it, admit it in front of the whole TPF world. You sabotaged my first day with the camera by doing a rain dance.

Ron, if I can get out of cuddling today, I will sneak away and test the weather sealing they claim is great.

DESIGNER STOP LAUGHING!!!!!!!

Jaca, sorry about the weather. We are getting cooler weather today too and I'm supposed to shoot a football game tonight. (gonna be chilly). I got home yesterday and had a package waiting, so my system is now back to good (for now). Got the battery grip, a second battery and a lexar professional 16gb 800x cf card. I'm going to get a workout with this thing, I may have to use the monopod.

Amazing shots. It would be hard to choose a favourite.

WOW, great shots, I feel inspired to get out and try some now ............. but I already know they're not going to rival those four.

As the other said, outstanding shots. The birds are great, and the presentation is artistic. Ed

Beautiful set!

Thanks Pixel I have a question for you…..I believe you had printed some of your photos on metal, what were the results and did you find some colors showed better or worse on the metal?

Thanks Ed, I always love your critiques

Gorgeous shots. I really love that first one!

Thanks Barb - he's a looker ! I got lucky

Hardly. You know what they say about "luck"....opportunity meets preparation. How many times did one of us plan to get up early enough for a golden hour shoot but stayed in bed...or inside b/c it was cold or the coffee tasted great...or we saw a great photo and thought "next time I'll bring my camera so I can take a picture of that" and next time never happens. Shooting wildlife is so much about preparation and patience. No luck about it on your part.

These photos are all lovely, every one of them. I'm sure that bird enthusiasts will find each of them outstanding b/c of the respective birds. For me, I think #1 is the best b/c of the light and combined with the lack of visual clutter from the ground/water (which you can't do much about other than some bokeh). Lovely stuff.

Thanks Joe - there are times the bed just is way too warm for me to crawl out of, especially with the time change....5:00 a.m. is way too early some days lol thanks so much for the very nice compliment.
