Finally, I got my pics from the G'ville dam done. "Quit pointing that thing at me!!" And my woodpecker shot (100% crop)
If I remember the picture I posted of our man in action...he was using a Better Beamer. So is this the bird version of "redeye"? Good stuff Chris!
Good to see these Chris. Sorry I missed that part of the weekend. Curious about the eyes in those 2 pics also.
Nice job, Chris, these are nice and sharp. I'm pretty sure Mason is right about the eye shine (having experienced it in plenty of my own shots :redface .
It might be, Never shot one with a flash. Owls have yellow eyes and they will turn green or red... (demon) eye:>)))
I'm glad you liked them. Shots 3 and 4 are of the rare voodoo witchdoctor heron. When they see photographers, their eyes roll to the back of their head, making them look white. Then they cast a spell that brings forth bad weather and crappy lighting. The only way to catch these guys is with a flash and a better beamer. Otherwise, they look like normal herons.
WOW! Wonderful shots! I still can't get over how easy it was to photograph those birds from last summer! Great job there!
