Hey TIm

Way to hang in there with that lovely NW weather we had last weekend! Ya know, the Brants did not seem to mind that much!

good shootin'

Mike


Thanks Mike!! It was sure blustery out but that was half of the fun!!

No the birds don't mind it but then again they don't mind sitting in the freezing cold water either!

Especially considering the conditions these were shot under. I like the first one the best of the set.

cool shots, and difficult to expose the black properly. Nice job, and I like #1 with the water spray the best too.

Hi, Tim.

Nice job on these guys. Yeah, I know the PNW is not known for its good weather. Sounds like you were getting several seasons in a single day.

#2 is my favorite. I like the background, and the water blowing from his head.

Cheers,
Ed

Tim,

I typed out a post for this thread and it seems to have disappeared... Maybe a problem with the code over on your end? Ah, kidding...


Good for you for getting out in the wind. I think it payed off as the water spraying off of the fat little geese looks great. Nice and sharp and well exposed. You can really see the "crest", or at least the longer feathers on the back of the head in #1... The things you learn about birds by having big lenses around.

I spent a summer camping on Melville Island and get pretty excited as well as a little nostalgic whenever I hear it mentioned. I only had short lenses with me however I'd love to go back again with something bigger as the bird life was pretty incredible.

I like these Tim.

You did great, even with the wind & rain. #2 made me !

I like the 1st and last one a lot also. Neat how the raindrops/sleet are multi-colored on the last shot!

I think it's kinda' fun to shoot in less than perfect conditions sometimes. Makes it a little more challenging.


Thanks Cris!

Yes I did have fun just being out there. The challenge of it all sure was part of the fun.

I'm glad you like these

It must've been difficult with those wind conditions! You done good That last one - what a porker! Looks like thy're feeding well there


Thanks Tim! Keeping the lens steady 90 degrees to the wind was almost laughable at times

They are well fed, that's why they are there. Lots of yummy seaweed.

Well the globe trotter has settled down

Spring is indeed a crazy time here for weather, that's part of the fun.

Glad you like 2 Ed

Yes you do learn a lot about the birds the closer you get. I would love to hear stories about Melville Island, got to be a way cool place.

Thanks Josh!!!
