The last couple of days of our FL Base Camp were just jammed packed with what I felt was nothing short of great photography. As I kept reminding the folks, all it takes is one cooperative bird and your shoot is made. Well, I kept finding very cooperative birds in just the right places in just the right light. The opportunities just seem to leap out and I was more than happy to take advantage of them.
What I’ve got here is a little something new for MooseNews Blog viewers. I put together a Slideshow Gallery (something I learned at our You Can Do It Too from RC the web guru) that has 26 images I particularly enjoy from the 2700 I captured in those last two days. All the photos were taken with the D3x (which I have come to really like shooting with), the 600VR and TC-17e. All the images but two were taken at f11, the other two f/8. I’ll bring to light this week some of the techniques I used to capture these and other images taken this past week in FL and a D3x mini wrap-up as well so stay tuned!
This is a Black-bellied Plover that was very busy digging up some slimy sea worm thingie from the muds of Estero Lagoon. Darn fun to photograph it and its friend.
