As of today, I am retired. Hopefully, I will have more time to shoot now, but the honeydo list has lengthened considerably over the last few years...

Last Sunday dgdg, (David), and I met at the local rookery in Richmond, VA. We had a very short span of good light before the clouds rolled in, but had a great time anyway. It was very nice meeting you David, and I hope we can meet up again.

Most of these shots were under cloudy conditions, and were tough to process. The herons are nesting farther from our shooting location too, so all these are cropped more than I would have liked. Most with the 1.4 tc too. Enough complaints... Exif should be attached, and as always C&C appreciated ~ Ron

Congratulations Ron! I just started in retirement, too. Yeah, in part due to the honeydo lists, it seems like I'm busier now than when my schedule was determined by my employment.

Back on the birds, despite the problems with the light, I think the soft light worked well and made those shots come out like watercolors, an effect that was especially good for your last shot.

Yeeeeha Ron!!!
Congrats.
The key is to keep the bride working longer so you have more time to photograph.
Nice shots, the rookery is one of my favorite spots, almost prehistoric.
Enjoy what you have worked so hard for....

Nice set. I especially like "Let's Dance" but you made the light you had work throughout. Enjoy the retirement. I retired a year ago, and I haven't looked back. I really enjoy the freedom of retirement, especially WRT to getting out with the camera gear. I'm sure you will too!

Retired people cannot complain about the conditions you can go out on ANY DAY!!!!

Wow Ron, I am SOOOOOO happy for you, really big congrats.

I guess we all look like 7 after 6 Really nice set, I don't know what you are complaining about

Of course with all your spare time now travel is a great idea. If you ever make it to this corner of the world, I will gladly welcome you.

Congrats on retirement Ron. Great set, I like 2, 6 and 7 the best. I think someone needs to get you a 2xTC for a retirement gift
