Florida wildlife, lots of pics!

These are the pics I want to see when I look to buy a new camera. They are precisely my style. Amazing close-up and stop-action. Fab-u-lous! I love the heron fishing shot. I just bought the D90 and can only hope I can produce the SHARP output you have captured. Do you recollect your settings for the egret and heron fishing. If I were in FL you would have a student.

Thank you, and sorry for taking so long to answer your question. You can read about the background story to the Heron fishing in this article I wrote on my blog.

P.S. I live in the UK, I was just visiting Florida

Fantastic, just fantastic. Anything, about how you go about taking shots like this besides the basic equipment and settings would be so helpfull to newbies like me.

I shot through the lower gaps in the side walk, between that and using a longer focul length you can give the impression of being lower than you actually are

I've got some articles in the featured photos section on my blog that go some way towards explaining how I captured some of my images. There are also other write ups including one about this series of photo's which may or may not be helpful
