Hi all. I went out with James Shadle last Wednesday and had a terrific time with lots of great opportunities. If anyone has the chance to visit Florida or just be in Central Florida you should look him up and avail of his services, http://www.inthefieldworkshops.com/. I highly recommend him! I went on his day long boat tour. Here are just some of my pics from that day.

These taken with the D300 and Nikon 500 f4 tripod mounted on wimberley head.

Wonderful images. All of the spoonies are great and really like that BIF of the brown pelican where it is scraping the water with one wing! :thumb
