Nice shots Rich, I've tried to shoot ducks in flight, not easy.

Rich the birds in flight are amazing! I found this guy kicking it right next to the road at Moss Landing on Saturday!

Nice Walt.
Pat those snowboard shots are sick.
Nick love the moon shot.
Rich, birds in flight, very cool, and they are so sharp.
Nice shot David. That's a hawk right?

I finally got around to working around some of my shots from last year:

Thanks J Jakober. I believe it is a Red Tail Hawk, at least according to my 8 year old daughter. I'm not much of a bird guy, but liked how the pic turned out. I didn't set out to shoot birds that day, kinda just happened. Spent several hours driving down, then back up the coast looking for a decent spot to surf. I am just getting back into photography, haven't had anything but a point in shoot since the early 90's. I've enjoyed checking the photos posted here for years, lots of talent on WW. I also shot this guy on 17 mile drive the same day.

Really like the 3rd shot Jakober, the clouds give it a cool feeling.

Just got back from a heli trip in Silverton, CO. Great times. Talk about a bid kids play ground. These pics are areas we ripped. The heli would land just about anywhere there was enough surface to let us out. Amazing flying skills.

Awesome picture, brutal combo. I hear getting electrocuted sucks. Mind if I use it as a background?

Colin, I'm jelous...that looks like an amazing trip! Hope you had good snow!

Nick,
25 inches of freshy. Then a bluebird. Hit it perfect.

Caught this guy sitting on my dock pole this afternoon. Normally they are really hard to get very close to. That's the full frame, no crop.

Colin, 25" and bluebird, it doesn't get any better in the backcountry. A heli trip is on my life list for sure

Stayed at a friend's vineyard up in Auburn, CA last weekend. This was the last shot I was able to take before my batteries crapped out.

Wow, are those two long ones shooting stars? I also like the windy road below.

Sparky - when shooting a white bird under expose 1/3rd to 2/3rds stop, you won't blow out the head/chest and lose the feather detail. Other then that those are both nice and sharp!

Scott - how long was that exposure?

(scott_a) · (scott_a) **Join Date: Dec 2002** 02-07-2009, 2:38 PM

Alan- If I had to guess, those are probably planes flying into/out of a Tahoe/Reno area airport.

Rich- 1500sec, f11, iso100.

(wake_upppp) · (wake_upppp) **Join Date: Nov 2003** 02-07-2009, 8:43 PM

Thanks for the tip Rich. That makes total sense because that was late afternoon sun hitting right on the bird's chest.

Check the rear of this guy out, looks like he's doing a little trolling!

Yep, it wasn't slowing him down yet though.

The river right in front of my house is pretty heavily fished, I could go into the used lure business with all the ones I find wrapped around various points of my dock! We always have to watch out for lures and hooks when we're down on the dock or swimming.

i feel bad posting photos that aren't birds. But regardless here are a few from today. Had a little fun out at my buddies backyard. Video to follow towards the end of the snow season. It was also nice to have a little brother out there who can snap a good photo as well. It's always fun to get photos of yourself. (I'm the last one. haha!)

Walt & Rich....are either of you going to be close enough to the route of one of the Tour of California stages to get a few shots to post up?

(Walt) · (Walt) **Join Date: Jan 2003** 02-13-2009, 5:30 AM

E.J.,

Yes I am and I've shot it that last couple of years. I don't think I'm going this year though.

(richd) · (richd) **Join Date: Oct 2003** 02-13-2009, 7:25 AM

Do you have a link to a site showing the times and routes. That would be cool to see.

I thought something like that went through Aptos last year and whatever it was the route was less then a mile from my house.
