I had to take a break from pp'ing photos from Mexico, so I put the old Sears rowboat out on the lake on Mother's Day, of course it's equipped with a tripod, ballhead/sidekick. All shot with the Mk III, 300 f2.8 and either 1.4 or 2x extenders. C & C. Herb

Herb, back to the mundane are we? Nice work, the phoebe is outstanding, wonderful detail. To me it seem obtuse to see "shorebirds" in the grass, I only see them on the shore. Not sure what that last one is but it is well done. Great job.

Tim

You know Herb, commenting is a lot easier if there is just one or two to pick as favs, well I am struggling man...................love this entire series That must be a heck of yacht you are shooting from

Karl

Nice shots,
But I'd really like to see the boat setup.

Wayne

Nice set Herb. My favorite is the last one.

Jude

What a nice series. If I had to pick it would be the Kingbird.

I love shooting from boats... However, my set up seems a little less refined than yours. Hmm.. there must be a way to rig a more permanent tripod mount type deal into my kayak...

These look just like the combo of species I see when I'm out paddling, though I've yet to get my camera close to a flicker.

I really like #2 as well.

Josh

Wonderful shots Herb,

Mother's Day outing....... # 1 is my top pick

Lil

Thanks Josh. I haven't tried any of my dslr equipment in the kayak yet, though I'm thinking of a 70-200 f2.8 on my 40D handheld for that. I think the kayak is too tipsy for any tripod type equipment.
