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..... Dad bringing home dinner to the family.... A Tern with his dinner... Sunset at the salt pannes... From this evening... A Little Blue Heron and an Egret in long lite... A Boneparts Gull (never seen one before) in long light... Lastly...a sunset over the tall marsh grass before it dipped into clouds which were on the horizon... Not horribly exciting but at least I got out
Hey Jim - Not exciting? :lol: You gotta be kidding. All of the images are fabulous, but that second sunset shot just blows me away. Wow. Gordon
Frank Please define NOOB....is is Alabamian slang for NEWBY? By the way...did you get that accent issue fixed yet?
Gordon 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:
Frank Oh... So now the question becomes... R y'all ewesing it as a disparaging like term or a good ole boy friendly type of term?
Jim, i wish i was as consistant as you in my picture taking. I really love the last picture of the sunset.
Re: Thanks Mike! Well I have been so to speak swim meets birds in the front yard but no adventures is what I should have siad, time is at a premuim, 3rd week of August I am on vactaion so hopefully then. I want to go out and shoot some birdies and animals
Rory 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?
Re: Gordon Jim - You never know what image is going to really have an impact. Lots of folks picked this sunset as their favorite. Gordon
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.
