Many thanks to Bob Greenberg (Bobg657) for giving me the location for these little guys. This was my first time shooting them. Also had the pleasure of meeting Bobby Tan there yesterday morning.

First time processing these on a new computer/monitor, so feeling my way regarding exposure and color. All comments welcome.

Nicely done Fred, but the exposures are too bright. Have you calibrated your new monitor ~ Ron

It was nice to finally meet you, Fred! You need to return in the hopes of getting some action shots of these guys! Joshua and I will probably be back the next weekend.

Nice set! Glad you got out there. I'm local, but have been so dang busy I can't seem to get over there in the mornings recently.

I'll echo what's already said, these are too bright for sure.

I like to see unknows species to me.
I would advise you to work on your white balance as it looks too much on the warm side.
Have you calibrated your monitor lately?

Thanks to all who commented. This will teach me not to be in such a hurry to post, using a brand new system w/uncalibrated monitor.



Did a little rework, and will try to replace the original photos. Would appreciate any additional comments.

Fred, your images are a little bit on the bright side and I am looking forward to the adjusted ones after you have done so. I was sitting to the left of Bobby on a stool but I was wearing a wide brimmed hat since I cannot afford to get my solar panel to work over time while there . I am sorry that we managed not to meet/see each other last week but Bobby and I are up to doing this again next week. Bob Greenberg will be there, too. Are you joining us next Saturday?
