Congratulations to louie champan for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 3 votes - View Previous Winners


Florida can offer up some great shooting locations and some beautiful birds to go along with those settings. On most of my trips to Florida when I have found a Snowy it’s usually been in or around marsh areas, so when I found this guy hunting from the rocks on a lagoon inlet, I was surprised.

Lovely set Louie. I like how the suds rendered on the rocks and in the sea. The last is super.

Thanks Gary, they are a special bird alright. The only time I get to see them is when I go to Florida.

That last shot is insane! It’s crazy to see how far lens technology has come, and you are certainly making the most of it

All great shots. The processing on the white feathers is stellar. Thanks for sharing.

Very much appreciated, thank you. The 300/2.8 is a killer lens in my opinion.
