Yes, I know everyone is tired of pelicans - except me that is Some of the nicer images that I got of these big guys while at Elkhorn Slough. These guys are so big, and so used to humans, that the boat often got me too close for the 500mm. Whatchya gonna do?
Awesome, Ed. Love the blue water in #1 and the clarity, detail and color in all makes them top-notch!! My favorite is #7 - the 2nd portrait. I like the last one a lot too. Thanks for sharing.

Ed, what a shame to waste all that money on that good lens, just to find out you're too close! Love #1 and #8.
Yeah, it's a real pity. If I wasn't so lazy I would have switched the lens' limiter switch and done some avian optomology photos I'm glad you enjoyed them Barbara.

Thanks Cris. I was pretty pleased with the way these turned out. Lord knows I took enough of them!

Great Peli shots Ed. Love the "UNDER THE RADAR" I and II. Of course they're all great with some PP Work that I'm quite envious of.
If that 500 is a little to long for ya I'll trade ya my 400mm
Anthony Whitmore
Thanks bud! Glad you like 'em. As for the PP, I'll have to show you my general workflow one of these days. That said, there are other folks here whose PP is certainly better than mine, whose brains I'd like to pick (you know who you are!! ).

Thanks Nelcha - for everything - organizing the outing, and putting up with me on the ride down and back. I'm looking forward to the next outing. Right now the only other one I'm scheduled for is Ano, but the Monarchs sounds like a good deal. Gimme a chance to break out the macro lens!
Every one of these shots could be chosen for a magazine article on this bird. You have clearly treated every shot here with respect in post processing, and your work is clearly evident to me personally. Super stuff!
