    I spent just a little time out the past couple of evenings and not a whole lot exciting was happening, but I did manage a few shots. The area I'm shooting presents some issues as there is no way at all to get the birds evenly lit most of the time.

    Last Evening.....

    Hi Gordon...

    You know what? I didn't like that sunset at first cause the gras was blowing in the breeze, but the more I look at it, the more I kinda like it :)

    Re: Frank

    Hey bub, I don't have an accent. You have an accent. :lol:

    Just for your edification, I've included the official definition below. 8)

    Code:
    A newbie is a newcomer to a particular field, the term being commonly used on the Internet, where it might refer to new users of a game, a newsgroup, the World Wide Web itself, or an operating system.

It can be both a disparaging and friendly term, always referring to a neophyte, or someone who behaves as such. The word itself is likely a corruption of new boy; a new arrival in a school and who is, therefore, vulnerable to bullying of various kinds. On Google's Usenet archive, the word first appears in 1988 [1]. The term was used prior to this as slang in the U.S. Military to denote men who had finished technical school and were just arriving to their first permanent assignment.
    Hope this clears things up. :mrgreen:

    Hey Jim

    You are definitely becoming a dangerous man with the big lens. Nicely done.

    Hi Rory...

    It's not every day that I shoot sunsets with a 500mm but I kind of like the way the depth of foreground to sun is reduced?

    Ever since I read a murder mystery book by the same name (Plum Island), this place has fascinated me. I am always glad to see images from there. These by the way are excellent. The last image is intriging.
