Assorted (sorry pic intensive)

Ok Bobo, I will rephrase - One of the Bird Masters at his best!
Happy?

Thanks Mike for the comments. Yes, #11 is somewhat cropped so can get more of the sun in there. Only issue is the birds will be so much smaller.

Thanks Mark - that is the issue with using Picasa, EXIF is there but they do not display it in links. For #8 it was f9, 1/3200, ISO 640, 300mm. One thing to note - I usually shoot at f5.6 but in previous swan shoots found that a higher f number is needed to get more of it in focus. So when I turned attention to these guys, closed it down to f9 and raised the shutter speed/iso to make sure that everything would be clear and sharp.

Thanks Steve for dropping in - yes it is about that time of year that things start to get busy. Waiting for this years hummers from you.

Bobo, this is an awesome set! I give you 18 wows (you owe me 11 wows from now!).

No problem about the number of pics, as all we have to do is enjoying them, instead of finding something wrong with them!

Cheers!

Thanks Otavio.

Owe you 3 now.

Btw, The best way for me to learn is if someone finds something wrong. Problem is when a shot is posted I have already applied everything that has been taught to me here at CiC and I just have no idea what else should/could be fixed. Sometimes something simple like placement can make the world of difference but I did not see it so any comment is always appreciated and looked into.

Love the power shown in #8 some can walk on water!!

Thanks Jack, appreciated.

Walking on water is no biggie. Remember that guy from 2013+ years ago who did the same?
