Very nice group.

Very nice group.


Hey Rock Haven't heard from you in a long time Hope you are well!!!

Thanks Man

[Travisj]

Great shots, that last one on ISO 100 is marvelous. Why have you waited so long to use Iso 100 for the birds?

[canonloader]

Very nice set. Is it common for two redheads to be together?

Most of the time ISO 400 and ISO 200 are needed to get shutter speed for Action shots. I'm not sure Why I never shot still shots at ISO 100 but It is going to change for sure.

Yes it is pretty common as they are a mating pair but outsiders are Challenged by both

[EdV]

Nice series Gary. Love the redheads! The woodpeckers are pretty cool too! :lol:

All from a single site. I was to three sites this morning and didn't find anything to shoot. Either nothing there or too far away (as in across the body of water).

[Mr. E]

Nice group of shots! The kingfisher was my fav!

[morehtml]

I find 1 and 5 the best. The others are a little underexposed.

That’s kind of what I figured but I didn’t know if there was some secret of the pro’s that I was missing, lol. I hope to get out and start with birds here as soon as it cools off a bit. Well that and when I get some better glass. :lol: Thanks T

[Colyn]

Great set and I love that first shot ... something very special in it for me.

[Reyno]

whatta bunch of well captured spicemens. Very well done Gary.

[bromm]

Excellent series Gary, my fav. would have to be the last Heron shot, just something about a well captured heron that gets my interest. well done!

Actually they are a good Practice bird because there are a lot of them and you can pick your shots.

Very nice shots Gary! Love the Kingfisher but the Woodpeckers with the hole is a great rare shot.
