Haven't had much time to shoot or look at others' work but managed to get a little time in at the everglades on a mostly cloudy day. At first, I wasn't sure if it would be worth it, but decided that practice under less than ideal conditions is always good for the soul. Plus, as a bonus, I got my first roseate spoonbill...Regards...Keith

I shoot in nasty light here all the time (courtesy of Mother Nature, not by personal choice). It can be done, though, and the heron shot especially proves it.

Great job!

Harry...I did find it slower than when i went the first time. But there are certain places, where the odds seem to be pretty good, they're just a long drive....thanks for the comments...Keith

Fantastic set. The spoonbills are exceptionally good as are the cormorant and green heron. And the high key background works well with the red shouldered hawk.
