p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · All feathers and one Godwit IF


I'm enjoying my week off from work and did check out some wetlands for bird activities.
The images are from my favorite location.
Thanks for looking. Comments are always welcome.
Chris

1) My new tactic to shoot small birds with 420mm is to get a more environmental shot and forget about heavy crops.

2) btw It's a Reed Bunting .... I think.

3) Some lucky shots.

4) I was checking out a bird/duck hide and this Grebe emerged to the surface right in front of me.

5) I'm still after a good lapwing IF so that I don't have to crop like this.

6) Finally a Godwit IF shot. Good to have them back.

7) And then the clouds came back as well and it was time to go home.

An excellent set, Chris.
I especially like the first grebe image: the turn of its head, the motion and color of the water, and more. A nifty shot.

Fine shots Chris. Well done. I would agree that the first two are a Reed Bunting.

Some fine captures, Chris. #2 turned out to be a pleasing image.
Good job on the Grebes and on the Godwit IF shot
Good control of the exposure in the last one

Great set, Chris. Love the grebe; thought it was an exotic set until you finished with the Coot! (I can't tell a Eurasian from an American Coot). Great technique (exposure, light, detail).

You cropped the Lapwing and it turned around for you!!!! You are one talented guy Chris!



Nothing wrong with going wider, I much prefer 2 over 1 because of the fluffy thing blocking the bird in 1. Great job on the grebes these are marvelous!! Congrats on the Godwit IF, it looks great. There's just something about coots that make me smile, this one sure did!!

Nice job Chris, good luck to you and Koen Wish I could join you

The quality of the open comp shots is pleasing to the eye Chris, #2 is quite lovely in my book

Grebe shots are awesome, nice ones!
#5 pleasing on both, neat way to show them off, nice colors

Nice variety and good shots taken and presented

on the enviro shots Chris... I especially like #1 for the beautiful bluish BG.
Wow that Grebe is a beautiful bird... congrats on the blind date and wonderful pair of images.
Nice work on the Lapwing and Godwit IF's... high degree of difficulty.

Thank you Greg. I also can't tell the difference between the coots except for one thing:
We call them Meerkoet.
