One more GGO

Well taken image Yves. He looks a little cross eyed but is a magnificient owl. Nicely done.

 

Great shot Yves.

I had already concluded that Dao is a fine, talented person, just from his posts here so far. In fact, I can't believe how lucky we are to have such fine folks as members here (including you of course....;-) )!!.

It certainly is great fun meeting and shooting with others that are as 'fanatic' about this avocation as we all are. I can't wait to get together with a couple of dozen next week-end. Sure wish that you and Dao could join us.... :lol:

Hi,

As you already know, I spent a very nice day with Yves and his so cute Arianne (looking at her making snow cakes and lovelingly playing with her father, it was a delight). I must say it is a great pleasure to meet Yves, a fine gentleman and a caring father.

About what I got, here's a shot taken when the same GGO opened one eye to look at Yves setting up his camera. I was about ten feet behind Yves.


Since I'm too lazy (and also don't know how to insttall the automated script), here's the manual EXIF : D100, Sigma 100-300mm /4 + TC 1.4X, Shutter priority 1/320s f/8 +-.3EV, ISO 200, Center-Weighted metering (I forgot to make the change from yesterday shooting), Low contrast, No sharpening, UDef Tone-curve from Photogenetic.

 

Dao, he's winking at you! Looks like you guys had a wonderful day. Its really cool that you met up with each other.

 

Looks like a great day ....

was had by both of you, incredible shots of a magnificent bird

 

nice detail on the owl shots. very well done.

 

Dao, you and Yves must have been in the same tripod indentions. Your TC1.4 moved things a little closer but the image is still sharp with good detail. Sounds like a fun time was had by you two. Thanks for sharing this image.

 

Great stuff guys,

I have yet to see an owl :<(
Maybe someday.

Great images from both.

Glad you had a fun day.

Cheers
