Sorry it's taken me so long to post my pix from BC. Work Work Work and
I purchased a new Dell 24 Inch display a few months back and just received
my Spyder 3 Calibrator. I thought it would be nice to calibrate before posting these. MISTAKE !!!
I seem to be having an issue with Skies and the color Blue. I've tried adjusting white
balance in ACR, PS (Thanks Kitehog), recalibration and many other things......... Still
not comfortable with the blue skies...............
Side note is that It seems to be less of a problem on older images I have on my HD.
So it may be something I did in camera on the BC shoot, or something with the
light / time of day...........
I'm tired of PP these over and over so I'm done and here they are like it or not.
I was able to meet many of the Southern Cal shooters. I'm afraid to mention them as I
may forget a few ............ What I can say is what a great bunch of photographers they
are and a fun group to shoot with. I really enjoyed myself and a special thanks to
The Zoomer for giving me "THE TOUR", special thanks to scott and KirkB for letting me
hang with them for an afternoon, and thanks to Garen for Lunch of an afternoon of BC shooting.
Trip two is in the works >> Hopefully the Osprey and Juvi BE will cooperate this time
1) I found this guy and zoom behind a bush and the zoomer was feeding him by hand.
I think this little feller is well known at BC as "The most photographed hummer of all
time." Unfortunately I didn't have the Macro lens with me so had to take a few steps
back with the Mark III, EF 500 IS, and 1.4x on.

2) The welcoming committee for the Ant and Zoom. I don't think you will see these
posted by Ken >> He was busy yakking about his trip with Monkey and something
about Sandhill Cranes, meeting Monkey, and something about growing a beard......
I think he spent to much time down south 

3)

4) Kirb B, Scott, and a few other photogs were photographing a Peregrine Falcon
Perched on a tall tree > This guy swoops down and tries to knock the PF off
it's perch............ Unfortunate I was hand holding the 600 with 1.4x on and had
a bit to much ZOOM to get the shot. Kirk posted an excellent image >> this is
The NH in question.

5) Here is the PF Post attack. He looks a bit miffed and an unhappy camper.

6) I don't think you'll see these posted by Da Zoom either. They move a little fast
for the old man to track >> SO I'll post these for him to view from an
Ant Perspective 
Here ya go zoom

7) Mr Z provided my very first Kestrel image. Thanks Ken

8) And My very first "ACCEPTABLE" KF shot was provided with the help of Mr Capt Kirkb. Thanks Kirk !!

9) AND another

10) Perched and Chillin Peregrine Falcon

11)

On this post I have Two All time firsts 1) kestrel 2) Peregrine Falcon
First acceptable image of a Kingfisher (IMO anyway)
It was 7 hours drive to L.A. and I have to say it was worth every minute of the 14 hour round trip...........
thanks again for the Southern California hospitality.
