He went back many times and reprocessed his originals,
as his skill in the darkroom (or discoveries) open new avenues.

So here I am with some oldies I reprocessed as well

And before anybody gets any ideas, the only thing Ansel and I have in
common is our "Germudgen" attitudes :rofl :rofl

Spectacular. What outstanding images! I like them all but especially the first two! I have been trying for years to get that sort of skimmer shot and as of yet, zilch, nada!

Hi Ben, Very nice shots, I like the Osprey (and the hawk). I has been so long (almost a year) since I have seen any Osprey around here. It's like they totally disappeared. Oh well, your shot makes up for it.

But I'm in the same boat no fresh Osprey for some time now
We used to have a water channel here were there up to 8 - 10 pair and then they started to let boats play in this channel and that was it for the
Osprey !! :cry

What in tarnation did the GBH capture here??? I've seen them take turtles, raid bank swallow nests, but never anything this big? River rat, squirrel?? (Yes, Harry would say no difference) but dayum that's a big catch!! Did it eat it all??
