Nature at Boundary Bay, Canada - First photos of 2014

Matt,

thank you for a very informative and helpful write-up; some good learning points in there. As to the photos, whilst I'm impressed with the wildlife, your last two "scenic" shots are simply gorgeous. If I could capture a view like your "Mount Baker sunset" (or even one half as good), it would be enlarged and on the wall faster than you could say "Ansell Adams"....

Gee, this just sounds like an average day of shooting :D

Well what you poste here make for an excellent set, Matt. Along with the narrative I feel like I visited the place myself. Given you description of the situation you ended up with a nice shot of the owl. From a technical standpoint you can't get much better than the bushtit shot. And the shot of Mt.Baker is crazy good.

You're making the most out of that gear to be sure. All you need is available hours to spend in the field.

Amazing set, gorgeous light, so sharp and beautiful detail in the juvenile bald eagle. I adore the owl (beautiful abstract crop and that eye). My favourites are the bush-tit and the back-lit plants.

Thank you for sharing your story, especially enjoyable and extra special to me as I hope to make a trip out there soon and I would be thrilled to come back with a set of images like this.

Thanks Christina, glad you liked the set and the story! Oh and I look forward to see your photos from your trip to the location. Hopefully you have better luck with more wildlife than I did.

Nice set Matt... well done. All excellent but the Bushtit is perfect.
