that some of you might enjoy

I've been out with the camera a couple X's in the last few weeks, and these were taken in those two trips......





This little Momma Kildeer was sitting on a nest she built 8" onto the side of the gravel road ! But she was smart..... she built it right behind (or in front, depending on your direction) of about a 15 lb rock, sitting on the side of the road. Anybody hit her, and they better be ready to swap with a new tire / wheel


White Faced Ibis. Trippy birds


Down the hatch !


Normally, backlighting kills me, but I kind of like the effect with these Bufflehead's In-Flight.


American Bittern. Really tough for me to catch. This was still BL, and a heany crop.... but I thought, usable. You ever hear these things "drumming" ??? One of the craziest sounds in nature !


Oh.... and shot through my {dirty... on the outside} bedroom window. I was surprised how nice it came out.


That's all for now
Hope you enjoyed them

Peace,
Fish

PS, Even If you see these shots, scaled down, and they look okay.... still, please try this, expand them to full size, then set your monitor for 100%. This will give you max detail

Oh also, these should be big enough for a desk top, so if you want to use one, feel free. I think you can grab them from here, right ? Not protected ? If so, just ask. I'll e-mail it to you.

Chris - you really have an eye! Nice work! Thanks for sharing.

[Fish Chris]

Thank you SoFla

Man, that sure is an awesome Peacock Bass in your avatar ! If you didn't put this shot in the "best catch besides bass" thread, since the last time I checked > you should !

That thing is just big, beautiful, and very cool ! I'm envious

Peace,
Fish

I'll have to do it. It's strange, of all the big saltwater fish I've caught, I have very, very few pictures of them. But I geek out about catching a five pound bass....

Very nice Chris. I love shooting critters, but can't come close to those.

[Fishing Rhino]

Looks like photos you'd see in the National Geographic magazine. Outstanding!

[Fish Chris]

Well much thanks again all

Hey Fishing Rhino, I'm flattered..... but in this day and age, with all of the cheap, amazing technology available, and of course > The Internet, everyone and their Grandmother is shooting like a pro ! LOL
Seriously, anytime I get to thinking I am shooting some pretty cool stuff, I just go to a few photo websites I know of, and "Wow ! Look at that" !!!
That sets me right back in my place
Their are just a tremendous number of great photographers out there nowadays. Basically, most anyone who wants to be one, can.

But obviously it helps to have "the eye" for it too

Peace,
Fish

PS, I'll be on the water tomorrow, and my cameras are as much of a must, as my poles
Hope to post some photos of something cool in the next couple days Be it a trophy C/R, or a nature shot, either way

[FishinDaddy]

Awesome pic's again. Hey, the wife wants to know what kind of camera you are using.

[Fish Chris]

Hey FishinDaddy, my camera is a T1i, but to be honest, it has given me fits.... My 400 F5.6 lens, on the other hand, is sweet !
