Superb set Dave. A few thousand photos is a post would be a new FM record.

Thanks Morris. Yeah, if I posted a thousand Fred would ban me for life.

Dave,
these are phenomenal not only in the action and story you've captured, but also in the crisp, clean quality of the images. Thanks for sharing. By the time you're done going through he culled images, you'll be just in time to start next years batch
Out of curiosity - are these on a tripod, handheld, or combination of both? Hand holding for 100k images would be exhausting!
Gero
Thanks Gero. I have a bit more work on them. I keep long sequences of shots taken at 30fps and I am working on converting them to short video clips. It's very tedious so I am working on some software to automate it. That will keep me busy for months, maybe longer.
These are all handheld except for #3. I can't follow the fast action these birds present on a tripod. I'd fall off the cliff
The large number of frames sounds like more shots than it is. Most are in sequences of 10-200 at 30fps. So its a few thousand over a few weeks.
Very much looking forward to seeing the video clips, Dave.

It will be a while before that job is finished, but I hope it will not be never.

Re: 'seeing them through'. I've just finished a three week stint with kingfishers - they fledged four chicks yesterday morning - though all my shots are of adults perched up bringing in food as the site doesn't lend itself to flight or diving shots. Hopefully the adults will go for another brood - there's enough time - and with birds from a previous brood around plus a couple of vagrants I might get some interesting encounters as a kingfisher pair will barely tolerate each other never mind 'outside' birds.

Thanks Andy. I too like 'like seeing them through'. This is the third year this pair of parents has been at Torrey Pines and the gang of photographers there enjoy telling stories about this years crop compared prior years. Every year is fun and I am looking forward to next year. I hope the same pair stick around.
I took a look at your Smugmug site. Very impressive!!
