My Thanksgiving Holiday - 1
Dec 18, 2013 23:13:16 #
So, I hate traveling on the holidays. For the first time in 15 years my wife's family decided to have a reunion over the Thanksgiving Holidays. We traveled from Anchorage to Myrtle Beach, SC, rented a house and entertained 31 for Thanksgiving dinner, two turkeys, two hams and an abundance of appropriate sides. I thought the weather would be great and opportunities to capture new birds would be as well. I was wrong ...at least with respect to the weather. It was cold, windy and rainy. In between I did get shots of some birds I had never captured before (or noticed for that matter) so all was not lost. I look forward to trying again when the weather is a little bit better.
I will do this in several post ...this is the first.

Nice!
Thanks Linda. He was very far away and only had my 100-400. But since I had never seen one before, he added to my list.

Very nice, great advertisement for the 100 - 400 lens.
Thanks Joe. I like the lens for walking around. My 500 mm is certainly sharper but the older I get the harder it is to lug around and hand holding it is always risky for quality.

Thank you very much Ray. I wish I could have gotten a little closer, but such is life.
