Can others edit my Photos
Photos NOT OK to edit
I have posted a few of these photos before, but I thought I would post a series of them. I had just purchased my Sigma Contemporary 150-600 lens with my Canon 7d. I was at the lake practicing and decided to sit down on a bench next to a small pond area off of the lake. I saw Oscar sitting in a tree scouting for a meal. I started shooting, when all of a sudden he spread his winds and dove straight down into the water. He emerged from under the water and began his accent. I noticed he was having trouble because I thought he had a very large fish. I kept shooting as he climbed higher & higher. I noticed Hank was on the shore line just watching the action. After I got home I began to process the photos I had taken. To my surprise I found that Oscar had caught 2 shad at the same time: One in each claw. Hank probably know he had 2 fish and was wondering why he did not give him one. I know the photos quality & technical stuff about these photos is not the greatest, but remember I was practicing with some new equipment. Hope you all enjoy them as much as I do.

Nice set. Glad you enjoyed your time getting them. And... anyone that gets that good a shot (#4) of a diving osprey is doing OK.
 
I think this is a double double! A two fish catch? Hank looks seriously impressed.
 
Thanks, Guys. Sometimes you just have to be in the right place at the right time.
 
Very nice set.
