Three Birds
Jan 25, 2012 20:30:58 #
Here are three images of birds taken handheld with a Nikon D80 18-135mm lens. All three were cropped. The first photo is of a pigeon on the south shore of Long Island, NY. I had never seen a pigeon wading in salt water before. Photo two was taken at the Maryland shore. Three was photographed at the Marine Nature Study Area in Oceanside, NY. Any comments and/or critique always welcomed.
ISO 800, 135mm F/8 at 1/1000 sec.
ISO 800, 135mm F/6.3 at 1/640 sec.
ISO 140, 135mm F/10 at 1/250 sec.

The terns you captured here display the essence of the bird, well caught.
Egret is stunning

I like the egret as well. So graceful in flight.

Oh wow! I love them all, but Sherrie took the words right out of my mouth about #2 looking like an old married couple waking down the beach.
I'm thinking he said "I think we took a wrong turn" and she's saying "Well, for Pete's sake, stop and ask directions"
