Got back from L.A. from shooting with the Southern Cal gang. I'm still sorting through those images............ Geeze I took a lot of photos And thanks to all of the Sou_Calers
for taking Ant on the BC, SJWS Tour. Photos to come soon. I"m in the middle of a long work stretch and short on time right now.

Dropped off every Long piece of Canon Glass I own at Canon Irvine for a full calibration.
Dropped off 5 Lenses and 2 Bodies. So I'm without a camera and most of my glass.
I feel naked

These are just leftovers that didn't make it into other posts

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY !!!

While I"m hard at work saving lives this holiday weekend you should all be thinking of me

Be careful out there .......... It's a zoo

OK Off to work I go!!!!!!

Peace OUUUUT

Great collection to leave us with Ant. Take care of yourself while you care for others. The first one(gadwall?) is my favourite.

Same to you Ant, hope you can get a bit of time off anyway
Splendid set, duck take off is sweet and great bear shots especially #2! Favorite in this group is the Whimbrel, magnificent light

Killer series! Those bear shots are incredible - and I know from experience how hard they are to get!

Wonderful stuff!

Hot set Ant!! Don't let work get to you.

Did you hear? Canon Irvine was a total loss due to a fire. Lucky for me my body was one of the last to make it out.

Nice work Ant. Each and every image is spot on. Clearly your glass needed calibration !

Folks, I'm pretty sure that's a Long-billed Curlew in #4 and not a Whimbrel. The bill length and the pink underside of the bill near the head is one indicator. Also the feather pattern on the wings and back plus the buffy flanks and lack of dark crown stripes indicate a LBC.

Very nice Ant. I do think #4 is the gem of the series. Thanks.

These are a delight Ant. It's hard to believe you need calibration with photos like this.

Hey Antman, you should have kept the glass and the bodies, nobody is more picky than you on calibration and these images prove it.

I like #1 a whole bunch buddy, I like the decision you made on the reflection #4 is stunning, great perspecitve, light and color and your PP ain't to bad either #5 is really different but it works, the light makes the shot, the BG is carrying a bit of noise and perhaps the darker feathers too, hey I gotta 'nit' cause I love ya buddy!

Happy 4th and do take care

Have a happy 4th. Now, go save lives!

I can’t believe that you had the nerve to post these soft focus old images.

I like your 1st and 4th soft images best.

Harsha, can you open Ant’s brain and see what’s wrong.
