a few from St Augustine Rookery

As usual the light and metering of it is pretty challenging.

I wanted to grab a shot of the lighthouse last year and never did. So this season I made sure it was on my list.
Shot with D200 and 18-200VR:

Nice shots, Trish!

I am glad to hear that shooting those egrets makes for "challenging" lighting. When I first saw my photos from my wilder looking, but still egrets, rookery, taken on Monday, well..............I was dismayed to say the least. I have found some I like, and some of those are even in focus, but I still feel very "light challenged".

I shot a lot at 100 ISO, finally found a few good ones, even as it got darker. And naturally the resolution is better than my usual 3200, or even 800, so now I am more confused. Whether to shoot hundreds and hope I get a very, very limited number at lower ISOs, or to go for the "more" and start with ISO400.

I really like your shots, and I love your lighthouse. I have never been to that area.

Hi Trish!
Great shots, as usual. Glad you got the lighthouse. It's a cool one!

Can't wait to get out to the Gator Farm and check things out. Is it getting busy or still too early?

Nice captures Trish.
thanks Steve.

hi ginger,
Thanks! yes I am light challenged! The light here can be harsh. I sometimes don't know why I attempt to shoot after 8:30 AM or before 5:30PM?? i guess for practice. I shot some scenics today that I love. I am going to try to do more of that...

Very nice Trish....

Thanks Ed.

Hi Kevin,
We need to talk! Found some wonderful driftwood shots for you!

The rookery ... a bit early yet in my opinion. There are shots...especially flight. just anxious for everything to get in full swing.
