    After looking at UF's Snowys for the last couple of days, and agonizing because all I have to shoot is danged pigeons, I decided to go back through my shots from the February Merritt trip. I still have scores of shots that I haven't even processed, ad I did manage to find a few of these beautiful guys.

    All taken with the D2H / 300 2.8 + 1.4 TC.

    Nice Flew.

    I still have several I have not processed myself. But thats ok. One day I will get to them along with many others.

    What type of plans are evolving for the Merrit shoot. ???

    Thanks

    Gale,

    Janie and I will be arriving late Sunday night on the 29th of May, and will be leaving the following Sunday morning (6/5). In between, I expect to be shooting with you and Harry every day. :lol:

    Hopefully Harris will be up for several of these days, and I thought that I would try to go down to his place at least one day. Are you interested in going down to see him and shooting around his area?

    Thanks Gaye,

    I haven't really gotten into printing these things yet. I will though, and I appreciate your kind words.

    I sure wish that you could join us at Merritt. :?

    Regards,

    Nice Job Frank

    You're making me rather ill feeling with the clarity of those shots.

    Sorry.... :cry: 

    I wish that you had kept the H for a while. :?

    Are you going to be able to come to the Merritt session?

    Paul,

    I certainly don't see anything wrong with this one. What is it that you don't like?

    Now focusing on your wife's back (or was that back-focusing on your wife??), that is a different matter altogether.... :lol:
