Inspired by UF and FLew

[mike mac]

OK I too have been inspired by these guys to post some Snowy shots, well to be honest I am jealous, as of now there are no birds in my area like this to shot so I will have to pull these out of the Merritt archives also

Gordon, Gordon, Gordon....All you have to do is come to Merritt with us in June, and you'll get more shots like these than you can process in 3 months.... :lol:

I know that you said you had other obligations, but we sure would like to have you join in. ;-)

Ya sure Frank, I can just hear my wife now when I tell her I am going to Florida to shoot birds instead of to Italy with her. I'm dumb but I am not stupid.

OK, OK, so you have a pretty good excuse.... :lol:

We will have to try to get together though. Janie and I would love to spend a week or two touring your part of the country sometimes soon.

Maybe later in the year. :wink:

Have fun on your trip.

Mike,

I am in awe of these photos. This makes me even more anxious to go to Chicateage on Gordons outing next month.

The colors and the details in the feathers are fantastic.

Question for you. Do you do much post processing on your pictures? Whatever you do, you are doing right!

Thanks for the kind words, I am sure you will come back with a bunch of CF cards filled with great shots from your trip.
In capture I apply sharpening and adjust the gamma point and then in PSCS I crop resize and apply final sharpening with a Miranda plug in. I don't like to spend much time in post so I try to get as much right in the camera as possible

Lovely shots, Mike, and the dark background helps. Too many times the sun lightens the water and doesn't give contrast - you've done well with these. I'll bet they're a pleasure to view on a wall!

Simply awesome looking shots Mike.
