Ben #2 & that last one are my favorites :thumb I am having trouble learning the 'bird' thing.

[Harryb]

Very nice Ben. :clap The GBH and the Night Heron stand out in this series. The colors and the punch of these pics are much better than some of your other recent shots. Are you doing anything different in your post work?

[Osprey Whisperer]

Nice job......Ben. You had that MG & TC workin' overtime. :D Some nice shots you have here. Keep 'em coming "West coast machinegunner". :thumb

Nice set Ben. Love the lighting on the GBH and that LGH is fantastic.:thumb :thumb

[luckydog]

As everyone has already said, A great series of shots. Only thing that bothers me is that you "flashed" a turtle!!! :scratch

Remind me to steer clear of you in the bush if you're wearing an overcoat :D

Hi Harry
How do you mean that???
since starting to shoot raw I follow your teaching and still reading Ron's book.

If I have to do more in post I'm usually not happy with the shot :cry
These shots received only the usual treatment, per your instructions.

OH Harry, IT WAS THE LIGHT!!! As you mentioned in a previous post :thumb

Like I've said before as long as I got ammo I'll keep blazin away :D
Unless Jeff hits me over the head with it 1st :rofl

Afternoon Khaos
One neat thing about this place is it's thick with trees and such which causes even afternoon light to be interesting, know what I mean :D
And with the flash you can get some good effect. Look forward to going there again :thumb

Somebody who actually listens to mehttp://dgrin.com/images/smilies/headscratch.gif http://dgrin.com/images/smilies/eek2.gif
As a husband and a father I'm not used to that. Having the right light will make an amazing difference in your pic quality. The range of colors and detail you can capture is so much greater. Good work. :clap

[bfjr]

I didn't put the flash on till we started shooting the turtles.

I can relate to the Husband, Father line. However I'd be a bigger "FOOL" if I did not pay close attention to your work and words. You share here what I and others would have to pay big time $$$ for. If I have improved it has a lot to do with listening to your words and seeing your Pristine work (reading your EXIF doesn't hurt either!!).

I whole heartly thank you for that, and look forward to the day I can tell you in person!! :bow

Speaking of Father, how's the soldier doing, well I hope?? Is he getting short??

Thanks Ben. My son is doing Ok. He still has 8-9 months left to serve over there but he will be coming home for a 30 day leave in October.
