flyguy Loc: Las Cruces, New Mexico

I am a rather new member and these are the first of my images I have chosen post. They go along with a subject that was posted a few days ago --- birds in flight.

I intend to add a bio in the new member section in the near future.

These images were captured using either my Canon EOS 50D
or Canon EOS 5D MkII.

I am not criticizing any of your pictures, but the last one of the skyline is terrific.

Thank you for the compliment. It is one of my favorites and it is included in one of my portfolios and I also intend to make an enlargement of it and have it framed.

I do a lot of photo walks for a whole afternoon several days a week when the weather is good (what more photogenic city is there? not to be snobbish).

This is one of my "grab" shots, just noticed the birds descending and shot it.

Same story with the others --- top one --- I was shooting the Blue Angels from a pier at Fort Mason during this years fleet week and happened to see this young seagull out of the corner
of my eye and "grabbed" a shot of it.

The ones of the gulls feeding in the middle of the street is another such "grab shot" I was walking along Jefferson St. in
Fisherman's Wharf and these started to feed just after some cars went through.
