Home for a few days...

[raymond j barlow]

and we have three Hummingbird workshops this weekend, then off to the Philippines, some scouting for a new program... then a workshop in BC on my way back.... keeping busy!

Here are a few from the thousands of frames taken in Newfoundland... 2 full programs, 6,000 + miles on the F150, and one tired old dog! It was nice to have my iMac there at the B+B for almost 3 weeks, but I doubt it will make it to the Philippines... Apple recalled it for a new HD, so they can have it while I am gone.

Sorry I haven't been around much... going non-stop from 7 - 11 for weeks now... one day last week I was up at 430 am and finished at midnight!

These last 2 were taken during a feeding frenzy, @ Outer Cove, just north of St. Johns, NL... about 6,000 birds, it was nothing short of spectacular!

Many more to edit, so once I have them done I will continue to post in this thread... I need a small machine that I can use on a jet!! any ideas?

more soon!

Great set, Raymond. I always love your posts. Nice to be so busy at something you love to do! Doesn't get any better than that. Looking forward to more of your posts.

Wow! Really great set. I love how you captured the fox! :smile:

 

[alanhill]

What a wonderful set! I love the three shots of the seabirds at the surface, very different shots but all beautiful captures in demanding circumstances (I know how fast penguins and sheerwaters travel over the surface and everybody knows how fast feeding gulls are :smile

Great set Ray. I also love the puffins and the "puffin party" in #6 is pretty cool. If I were to pick a favorite, it would be #4.

 

[james thiel]

Super set. Love the puffins with #4 my favorite.
