Very nicely done, Mike. The pano downloads are beautiful.
Very nice set Mike - I really like the landscapes!
Very nice set, Mike. What a beautiful place to photograph too.
These are beautiful scenes, Mike.
A great set, Mike! My favorite is the last one, although a number of the others are close.
These are all beautiful, Mike! I enjoy the challenge of BIF, so for me, #2 is my favorite. I love the blurred out mountains and background. Just awesome! Mike, can I ask what you've chosen for your settings? I've thought about doing a preset, but lighting tends to always be changing. I'm always looking to learn and try to improve.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos, Mike!

Super images, love the harrier!
I know I need to Google Farmington Bay to see a bird refuge but you always do a wonderful job 👍👍😊😊
[quote=UTMike]As many of you know, I am a landscape enthusiast ("rock shooter") who attempts to get some decent bird photos. Whenever I go to a bird refuge I also like to capture what the area is like. I had a cold, windy day for shooting, but with decent light. This set shows the only two flying shots I took and some shots to show you Farmington Bay.
In past shoots here I had a problem with excessive noise when I set my camera at high speeds and ISO. So, I entered a setting for BIFs. The first two photos in this set are a male harrier (I think).
The landscapes show what the Farmington Bay area looks like from various positions.
Downloads are your best bet for viewing.[/
Great moments taken in BIFs, and the scape images are neatly composed. Very well done, Mike!
Nice set Mike, for a rock shooter your BIS are nothing to complain about
I really like the last shot, I have never seen so many Pied-billed Grebes in one place before
Very nice set Mike. Love those pano's and mountain views. I like how you captured the hawk scanning the ground as you caught him in flight.
