Common Mergansers

[docbell]

These were shot in morning light filtered through some trees which was fortunate because I also had some shots in bright sunlight --> white areas of the bird overexposed, black areas underexposed. Is it even possible to get a decent exposure in that situation??:dunno

Good captures Kevin, nice reflection, catchlight in the eye :thumb .. I see you've taken to clipping a few feathers as well :rofl

Ive had the same problem exposing black and white ones :scratch. I guess that lens can take sharp shots after all :lol4

Jeff, thanx for the nice comment.

Steve - how'd I know you were going to bust me on the clipped tail feathers??
I noticed also when reivewing the pix that I'm just not watching the tails like I used to (at least Sheri would be happy to hear this). Guess I'm just getting old.
- also, i need an explanation of your last comment (specifically the smiley you chose). I'll talk to you Saturday, out back, about it.

Kevin.
