Got these guys riding around in my pickup here. It is a wast water management site next to the ocean here. It's free so I go ride around there and stick my lens out the window. Lazy mans hide. LOL

A friend of mine calls that "Ninja" photgraphy. He has all sort of rigs set up to take great photos without ever getting too far from his car.

Nice photos!

You know this old pick up I use has taken a real beating on my birding adventures. It is starting to creek and moan a little. Kinda like me... :) I bought an old Ford Ranger Diesel at an auction over here in 2008. Put an inverter on it for charging my batteries and changed to on-off road tires. Its got scratches all over it and looks rough but runs like a champ. And has been down some verrrrry rough mountain roads...
These are with a homemade bean bag on the window. Over here it is rice.... So a home made rice bag... LOL
