Hi readers! My blog entry on Wednesday’s shoot will need to wait a few days as we are painting our office. This will delay getting the posting done. But I am looking forward to selecting the photos I want to post and writing a play-by-play of the day.
I visited the Ridgefield NWR yesterday and the weather was fantastic! I had a great day shooting and haven’t counted exactly all the species of birds and animals I came across but it’s got to be between 15 and 20, I think! I don’t believe I’ve ever had a more active day there in the 4 years I’ve been visiting Ridgefield. I even got a new bird for my life list yesterday–can’t wait to tell you about it!
I have posted ONE of the kestrel flight shots from Wednesday on Flickr. And, I have a second frame of that kestrel flying towards me, that I will post exclusively on my blog and website. I’m trying not to duplcate every photo on both sites. Please visit my Flickr page via the link on the homepage.
I also took a lot of flight shots yesterday of cranes and harriers and had better luck with them using the 7D. I think I have found an AF setting that works better for me. I’ll tell you about this as well as post a whole bunch of shots that I hope you will like. So please stay tuned and come back to read about my exciting shooting day (exciting for ME anyway!), Oct. 27, 2010.
I can’t promise exactly when I will have the entry posted–it depends on how long the painting takes! Happy shooting and see you soon!
Most active day ever?? New bird for the list??? AWESOME! Can’t wait to hear more about both of them and see all your pictures! 🙂
Yes Kimi! It was an exciting day! In one spot, I had 5-6 different types of sparrows within about 20 feet and all within a half hour. I think I got shots of all of them, too. Had a great time!
