OT: A Few More Bird Pics

October 12, 2008 by Rusty

The terns in flight was sort of a Hail Mary shot; they fly fast, with rapid wing flapping. There really isn’t time to fiddle with the camera settings when they’re in flight. The others were easier to get.

Rusty…

I managed one good bird picture all summer… and that was only because he stayed still for a while

I love Rusty’s pic, but Damn! That’s an impressive picture, Willie.

That’s a gorgeous adult bald eagle, Willie. You captured the “eagle eyed” glare wonderfully. We almost never see them here, except in winter.

Daggy has attracted the attention of Nick Mamatas: http://nihilistic-kid.livejournal.com/1186185.html

LOL! This wouldn’t be the first time those two have tangled, in a manner of speaking. I’ve seen Mamatas put Larry in his place before, on Shocklines, when Daggy whined about how hard it is to get into Clarkesworld, how such places never give the little guy a chance, etc.

Janrae and I have both posted about this. Let the fireworks begin.

That shot of the terns in flight was great. I’m much better with stationary items myself.

Why am I not seeing any fireworks?

Love the pics by the way.

Nicky seems to be taking out his frustration on Mike. Maybe he’s afraid of the rest of us. Or, maybe he’s still on dial-up. *snerk*

Ohh, great bald eagle pic, Will! Sorry I didn’t see that the first time. I’ll continue to blame jet lag. heh
