Some shots from the summer

[Harryb]

Hi y'all,

I love Florida but it sure gets a tad warm from late June through August. :whew
Despite that I managed to get in some shooting.

Nice shots of the spooines Harry. Click pond I would guess.
Where was the Deer.
I still want some of those.
I see our Limmpy was there:>))
Love those guys

that is a pretty Sandhill

[Ric Grupe]

I think the spoonbill is saying..."why don't you take a picture! It would last longer!"

...but you did instead.:clap

Please tell me there was some secret post processing on the sandhill shot. It is amazing.

Number 1 is my favorite. Nice colors!

[Osprey Whisperer]

Nice set Harry. I like that incoming spoony best. :thumb :thumb

[Maestro]

Very nice captures but I really like #2 and #4! The reflection in #4 is spectacular and the ibises just add to the shot! :bow

Yep I caught the spoonies at the click pond while the water level was still low.

You have deer in Florida? Oh my, what do they eat, and where do they hide? LOL

Thanks Ric. I hate to tell you but I did virtually no processing on that sandhill crane shot. It was taken with my old D100 and the 80-400 VR lens while my D2X was being repaired.

Like the color with the spoonbills and the blue bkg, but the first photo is my favorite! :clap

[BigAl]

Nice set Mr B :thumb I particularly like the mirror effect in the two landing shots.

[ps: I hope you kept cool with some Coronas :D]

[Harryb]

Number 1 is my favorite. Nice colors!

Thanks, glad you liked them.

[Yuri Pautov]

As always, your photos are amazing!
Sorry I not always find time to visit this side of DGrin and see you photos...
Oh if only we had time...
Spasibo,
Yuri

Nice set Harry. I like that incoming spoony best. :thumb :thumb

Thanks Mike, I had a great spot to shot them from and the morning light was just outstanding.

[PhotoHound]

Very nice bunch; I really like that red-head.

[ShepsMom]

Tad warm?? I'm dying here, can't wait for cool weather, if it ever gets here :rolleyes Great shots Harry, love that pink Spoonbill!!

[dbaker1221]

great series Harry:thumb fantastic color!!

[Harryb]

Very nice captures but I really like #2 and #4! The reflection in #4 is spectacular and the ibises just add to the shot! :bow

Thanks, it was just one of those days when the light is outstanding and the reflections were perfect.

[riddim_maker]

Hmmm! now if we can only coax a few of these exotic Florida birds to fly west we'd have it made on this coast:wink
Love that reflection Harry:thumb

[jwear]

you got nothing on us Harry ,106 yesterday and no wind felt like 120 :deal great stuff :thumb nice shooting

[Harryb]

You have deer in Florida? Oh my, what do they eat, and where do they hide? LOL

Heck we have deers, bear, boars, panthers, wildcats, racoons, otters, etc, etc. We have it all. :ivar

There's a cattle farm surrounding the wetlands and there's lots of deer in those trees. I have seen up to 12 or so in one field.

[Awais Yaqub]

Great photos :clap

Hi y'all,

Hi Harry.. I know the feeling of HOT !! This year we have had humidity like you guys get. I've never felt it like this before. By the time I hike to my spot I am soaked.

Beautiful Shots !!

[Harryb]

Like the color with the spoonbills and the blue bkg, but the first photo is my favorite! :clap

Thanks Glenn I'm partial to the sandhill shot myself. Its funny because I'm all hot to get these new cameras and I used my old D100 on the sandhill capture.

[Harryb]

Nice set Mr B :thumb I particularly like the mirror effect in the two landing shots.

[ps: I hope you kept cool with some Coronas :D]

Thanks Al and the Coronas were a blessing after a day out in the summer's sun. :slosh

Sometimes it just comes down to the photographer and not the gear! :D
