p.1 #1 · BC infected by Antzzz


Sorry it's taken me so long to post my pix from BC. Work Work Work and

I purchased a new Dell 24 Inch display a few months back and just received
my Spyder 3 Calibrator. I thought it would be nice to calibrate before posting these. MISTAKE !!!

I seem to be having an issue with Skies and the color Blue. I've tried adjusting white
balance in ACR, PS (Thanks Kitehog), recalibration and many other things......... Still
not comfortable with the blue skies...............

Side note is that It seems to be less of a problem on older images I have on my HD.
So it may be something I did in camera on the BC shoot, or something with the
light / time of day...........

I'm tired of PP these over and over so I'm done and here they are like it or not.

I was able to meet many of the Southern Cal shooters. I'm afraid to mention them as I
may forget a few ............ What I can say is what a great bunch of photographers they
are and a fun group to shoot with. I really enjoyed myself and a special thanks to
The Zoomer for giving me "THE TOUR", special thanks to scott and KirkB for letting me
hang with them for an afternoon, and thanks to Garen for Lunch of an afternoon of BC shooting.

Trip two is in the works >> Hopefully the Osprey and Juvi BE will cooperate this time

1) I found this guy and zoom behind a bush and the zoomer was feeding him by hand.
I think this little feller is well known at BC as "The most photographed hummer of all
time." Unfortunately I didn't have the Macro lens with me so had to take a few steps
back with the Mark III, EF 500 IS, and 1.4x on.

2) The welcoming committee for the Ant and Zoom. I don't think you will see these
posted by Ken >> He was busy yakking about his trip with Monkey and something
about Sandhill Cranes, meeting Monkey, and something about growing a beard......
I think he spent to much time down south

http://i.pbase.com/o3/87/782787/1/107662501.ilOTnGf4.CAC24594.jpg

3) http://i.pbase.com/o3/87/782787/1/107662498.PauylV9R.CAC24593.jpg

4) Kirb B, Scott, and a few other photogs were photographing a Peregrine Falcon
Perched on a tall tree > This guy swoops down and tries to knock the PF off
it's perch............ Unfortunate I was hand holding the 600 with 1.4x on and had
a bit to much ZOOM to get the shot. Kirk posted an excellent image >> this is
The NH in question.

http://i.pbase.com/o3/87/782787/1/107662504.2MYBg9ZF.CAC25168_3WB.jpg

5) Here is the PF Post attack. He looks a bit miffed and an unhappy camper.
http://i.pbase.com/o3/87/782787/1/107662505.teLjsPFU.CAC25368.jpg

6) I don't think you'll see these posted by Da Zoom either. They move a little fast
for the old man to track >> SO I'll post these for him to view from an
Ant Perspective

Here ya go zoom

http://i.pbase.com/o3/87/782787/1/107662497.IFBKZeUT.CAC24440.jpg

7) Mr Z provided my very first Kestrel image. Thanks Ken
http://i.pbase.com/o3/87/782787/1/107662491.qY2P7LC9.CAC24212WB.jpg

8) And My very first "ACCEPTABLE" KF shot was provided with the help of Mr Capt Kirkb. Thanks Kirk !!

http://i.pbase.com/o3/87/782787/1/107662503.xtc4kjOu.CAC25020.jpg

9) AND another

http://i.pbase.com/o3/87/782787/1/107662502.PTIXsgi2.CAC25001.jpg

10) Perched and Chillin Peregrine Falcon
http://i.pbase.com/o3/87/782787/1/107662507.Mpe4VF9n.CAC26310.jpg

11) http://i.pbase.com/o3/87/782787/1/107662506.BCeXP3SS.CAC26275withWBcopy.jpg

On this post I have Two All time firsts 1) kestrel 2) Peregrine Falcon
First acceptable image of a Kingfisher (IMO anyway)

It was 7 hours drive to L.A. and I have to say it was worth every minute of the 14 hour round trip...........

thanks again for the Southern California hospitality.

Ant

The wait is over and I knew these were gonna be special
Terrific group Ant, I'm seeing PP perfection so I hope that puts your mind at ease
Love the peep's shadow on the rock and the KF shots are super nice. Kestral is my fav of this set and you captured color and detail supreme!!

Happy New Year Ant and I'm anxious for the next BC installment

Wow, these are excellent. You post great shots routinely but this set seems a cut above... KF and PF are particularly nice. What a good start for the new year.

RobAmy,

PP looks good to me, Happy New Year. Nice set of shots.

Thanks Rob or is it Amy? I'm never sure which of you two is commenting or posting and you never post a name........ I'm so confused

Appreciate the comment Mr or Mrs RobAmy and thanks for kudos on the PP. It's been a rough week of Monitor Calibration.

b.a.smith,

I am viewing these on my HD tv and they look great, colors and all....well done

I used to use my Samsung HDTV as a monitor. But 31" widescreen was just a tad to much for easy viewing Thanks B.A. for the critique and comment.
