p.1 #1 · Bald Eagle of Milan,mallard chick & lots more!

1. Milan's Bald Eagle...yep that's the biggest raptor left in our urban parks

This is what he was lookin' for...yummy mallard chicks

This guy was born about 1 week ago! in november

sh*t global warming is happening right now...and it's all because of Ant's pick-up

2. I'm safe right?

3. Watchfull dad:

5. Macro shot of one of my balls

OMG I can't believe I said that

Fiesta time for mallard...sorry about the whites...tried my best to control them

I really like this 1 because of the half-shadowed part (a tree line blocking the sun)
6.

7. Out of the darkness into the light

8. Speed Demon...dropped the ss a bit to 1/1000s and tried a bit of panning movement

I lost some detail but oh well...

Thx Roger #4 is an Egyptian Vulture (Neophron percnopterus). It was a temporary guest in a rehabilitation center for injured animals. It can be found rarely in the southern part of Italy.

Nello my friend, you are never at a loss to entertain us buddy

Heck that eagle is more like Condor size man

you absolutely nailed the exp and PP on that one sir! Cute little peeper you got there, watchful Dad could benefit from a crop adj IMO, too cenered for me thought I like it as it represents your PP style, that means post processing Nello

The Egyptian Vulture is darn cool buddy

#5 looks soft

guess that means you have soft ballz

, you made me say it man! Undecided on #6 but I do like the water action, #7 same title that came to mind when I looked and a cool shot. #8 could benefit from the same thing as #3 IMO nice pan!

Oh, I ran out of pictures so quickly

That was fun, got more

A pleasure to view, great entertainment too!

Karl calm down, I know Nello's soft...oh never mind.

Nello, man did you nail the 1! That is a beauty. Now let all the other nice people here no how easy that was, geez I shot one in Vatican City with a 40!! Oh yes, I do remember you posting one a loooonngg time ago asking for an ID and I answered it for you.

Now where was I?

Oh yeah something about your pictures

2 is cute for sure but I think you cropped(read shot) it wrong. Move the ducky to the right and get some space in front of it.

Dude you have the 40 singing, your getting all of these IF's

Great set, I would say more but I can't get that chick out of my mind that Socrate posted on Dave's post

You're right, Karl. No eye contact. We had another kind of "contact", though

Socrate

P.S. In my dreams

Nice nut shot, Nello

Super set of burd photos in this set. So many I wouldn't know where to start picking favorites. Super set of burd photos in this set. Nice nut shot, Nello

I thinking Ant, Tim, Karl and Chad could learn a thing or two from you. Not me, I'm already good, but they could use some help. Nice nut shot, Nello

#2 was a lucky encounter

it's been a few days i've keepin' an eye on these chicks but they're always in the water and high banks gave a bad angle. I was about to go home but then decided to take a grand tour around the pond again

persistance paid off!

Hey Karl..long time no see! where you've been brotha'?

Dude all this time and I had no idea what PP means

thx Karl

Dad is kinda' centered...I guess I have a brain damage that blocks me from de-centering the subjects

#5 the soft ball

well there's an explanation for that 1

I mounted the 1-400 IS w the 1.4 Tc attached on a tripod and MF (that's manual focus Karl

) in LiveView at x5 magnification

I swear I could see the craters like never before but when I went to x10 view I also saw BIG heat waves rising up from the city making the image blurry

they were uncosistent...in&off in a matter of seconds so I just took a few shots whenever they seem to be softer but still...you need to be up on a mountain or a desert to get a clearer view

For #6 I tried all kinds of PP techniques to get the whites back without makin the whole image darker. that's as good as I could

Thx for the nit maaaaaan

A hooded crow w a 40mm lens? dude those crows in Vatican got so used to tourists feeding them!

Here they won't let you go near them within 15 feet or so...that's as close as I ever got and I see them daily! #1 is at 400mm and cropped about 20%. Guess I should start feeding them

Maaaan on #2 I shifted the subject towards left a little so it won't be too centered...you know I was gettin' "creative"

that's about the only time I managed to do that

40d for IF is a killer I'll tell ya' !
yeah can't get that chick out of my mind either
