p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Woody Woodpecker babies in the nest.....Pileated


A friend shared the location of a Pileated's nest with me last week, and fortunately I was able to make it over to the nest before the babies fledged, which they did on Sunday. It was pretty dark in the woods where the nest was located so I used my Better Beamer and I sure have a lot to learn about shooting with the BB. But here's a few of the shots I was able to get.

These are a delight Louie. I can see the improved detail in the blacks from your use of flash and also the catch light in the eyes

Hi Morris, thanks very much. It was a pure delight to watch the interaction between the chicks and then between them and the parent. Shooting with the BB is fun but sure takes some practice to get things dialed in correctly.

I just answered your question regarding using a BB on the Nikon Forum. You will soon find this easy.

Thanks for taking a look. To answer your questions, probably because I didn't know what I was doing, but I think I can adjust it.

Delightful shots, Louie!!!!

I especially like #3. Other than the color cast on a few, they look very good!

I'm way envious here Louie! This is really special, great shots I think you and the BB are doing very fine, these really look nicely balanced to me, worked great to get pleasing details and color. All good hear Louie
