Salton Sea Redux

[Angelo]

OK OK, so I was at the Salton Sea Wildlife Refuge with Joel, William and Russ.

Yes THEY did get far better shots of all the flapping rats than I could ever hope for. Yes they own cameras and lenses that would put any National Geographic photographer to shame.

BUT.... let's just see if they can accomplish captures like these using my Verizon camera-phone!!!

:huh :wink :rofl :rolleyes

All kidding aside, the three amigos did a wonderful job capturing the birds of SS. I was very disappointed with my captures. These three are the only ones, out of the dozens, I felt remotely worthy enough of processing just to prove I wasn't phoning it in! :D


The other shots are here: http://angelo.smugmug.com/gallery/2466798#129380668



Thanks for looking.

Errr, Angelo you're a Mod now, and everyone knows that mods only get good shots. :ivar

There's nothing wrong with your post Angelo, in fact where can I get that telephone. The exposures are right on considering they're white birds, and the composition is fine, so keep on shooting. :thumb :thumb :thumb

Great shooting with you.
