p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Spending an afternoon with 2 Gems


I was fortunate to spend the afternoon with Morris at the Oceanside Marine Nature Study Center (the 2 Gems), where Morris graciously offered to teach me the basics of flash and fill photography
Attached are some of the better pics that I was able to sort out.
I photographed my first osprey anywhere and my first glossy ibis in the US
I decided to post before you guys are spoiled by the beauties that Morris will be posting...

Snowy, osprey and glossy ibis..

Well done, These don't look flashed, (and that's the idea ). 2 is my pick, but it does have very noticeable sharpening halos along the back ~ Ron

You most certainly had a great day...I can't tell you used flash so lesson learned well! Now that you have a new spot I'm sure you will be a regular out there.

it was really wonderful shooting with Morris. I only wished that the place was closer, in which case, I'd be a regular there.

Nice shots, especially the Ibis. Tell us more about the flash fill-in.

Hi KD,

These are very nice and I think you should back off the sharpening a bit. You nailed the reflection off the glossy ibis. This was a fun outing.
