Walk day 4...and a few masters of camouflage

[xiamiam]

I cant make the birds any clearer...tried..no luck...I've got hundreds of photos of herons...never from this location...the hawk was almost a foot and a half tall...although it seems smaller...they seemed to be ok and not spooked by our presence...interesting...i put the walk off everyday...and almost return before i even get anywhere because of the discomfort...but once i start taking photos..i tend to forget.....

1. these are cool

.I particularly like the second one - that brilliant red really makes the shot.

2. I love the log photo

Its nice framing and interesting depth of field

the fall color one is pretty too.

The birds are neat but for wildlife photography you really have to have the "lens" the perfect telephoto lens.. unless you get lucky with a few shots. I've seen a few people here get a few lucky perfect shots, but they are few and in between.

I think your other two nature scenes are stronger! Both interesting and beautiful

4. I shy away from wonkish questions, but

what lense are you using are these shots?

5. canon 100-300 mm...have a canon 10d...lens is interchangeable with slr

which i bought first and which has better action...but then there's the cost of film...

7. thanks

I'm glad you could decipher the question. I was channeling Borat or something.

6. Photography can be very therapeutic

Looks like a beautiful place. Love the reflections. Your boids are great ..... it's tough snappin' boids.
