Any comments are welcome. Cool Shots Almo! What gear did you use? Also, I noticed a few of them were cropped. How much cropping did you do? almo 02-08-2005, 04:54 AM Cools Shot Almo! What gear did you use? Also, I noticed a few of them were cropped. How much cropping did you do? Thanks speed! Yeah, I use a DiMage 7i so unfortunantly I sometimes have to crop. It only has a 200mm lens on it so I can only get up so close to the birds, unless the have no fear. I got to within 20 or so feet of that ibis before it took off. Some of them, like the egret and the hawk and duck are cropped tightly. Others I don't have to crop much at all like the ibis, and others like the lovebirds are full frame. almo Chunk 02-08-2005, 04:58 AM Good work on these. I like all the compositions and really like the feel of the egret with the palm reflections. paulnj 02-08-2005, 09:15 AM YOU are CAMERA BIRD NERD #2 :) I dig the redshouldered hawk , the great egret fishing(B&W) and the white ibis in flight but....

They are my favorite duck. I know most ppl like wood ducks or mallards, but I am a muscovy man. Me and my GF call them grebbies cuz when I was younger I thought they were grebes. You can't deny the cutness of a couple in love. How she presses her head into his chest lovingly. I got some great female cardnal pix today!
