Thanks. I'm glad I caught her at just that moment.
Love that Seagull shot. I watched a magpie the other day raiding someones bag, well, attempting to until it was quickly cleared away by the astonished owner of the bag.It was a bit too far for me to get a clear shot of it though.
The same magpie (and its partner) are quite fearless - they walk around you and look up at you, waiting to see if you'll give them food.
Now - some weather effects:
1/30sec, 310mm, ISO100
Nikon D3S, AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 200-400mm F/4.0G IF-ED + 8x ND Filter (52mm drop in filter).
A330 and A340 Airbus always get those ribbon like vortices coming off the winglets. It can be pretty eye catching at times if the weather conditions are right.
What's nice about seagulls is that they are plentiful and very agreeable to food shared with them. Great catch with your shot.
Mine for today.

I'm a sucker for peaceful reflection shots. Love this one.
I like the lighting you captured here.
I finally had time to go through some pictures over the last couple of days. I'm visiting family in Destin, and it doesn't leave much time for photo processing. We were at Sandestin just after sunset time. I had foolishly left my camera bag and tripod in a car I did not ride in over, and so I was separated from it during the best shooting time. Fortunately I did have my camera on me. I had to find a flat surface to get any sunset shots to work.
I've been wanting to take a harbor sunset picture here. I'm glad I finally have.

Thanks. It's a good thing I've never really payed much attention to the votes
Thanks, I'm having a lot of fun learning just how much control I have over the light at night.
For today:
Impact
I just happened to get a flat tire on my truck the day after I picked up my 50/1.4 so I used the opportunity to learn a little bit about the lens.
That was lucky!!! Awesome!
Here's another dusk shot at the Cliffs of Moher... a couple of women were taking pictures precariously close to the edge of the cliffs at the time.

Thanks for the comment.
The Bridge is illuminated. I think it is LED low voltage stuff. The colours change and chase from one side of the bridge to the other. Quite impressive for somewhere like Berwick.
Here's another for today's.

This is ridiculously nice! Love the whole feel and the two silhouettes really completes the whole thing!
Are there some more from this set?
Every year , instead of sending out Christmas cards , I do a calender to send out . Try to make the image on each month appropriate for that month . Given my lead times to get everyting composed , printed , and mailed , I've got to start now to get an image for next year's December . Anyway , went over to NYC last night to do the department store window holiday walking tour . Some of the windows are pretty amazing , with animatronics , and interactive cameras . Anyway , here's a detail of one of the windows at Macy's on 34TH.The marionettes are in continuous motion .

Face melter right there. Did you light it or was it lit by ambient? Either way, it's an awesome photo.
This is a composite to get the TV image to show up. Anyone see the connection?
While it's still December..

Love the hawks and the owl photos. Wish they were in a higher resolution though
. Keep wondering how you are getting shots of owls during the day. See lots of hawks during the day but only see owls in the "wee" hours of the morning when it's still dark. Anyway, enjoy your work. Thank you. Cheers

Sorry I'm 10 minutes early of the next day.. I'm going to bed!
Great shot. I got a DSLR and I took one of those shots. I had almost the exact same picture, but my ornament was green...

Thanks. I wish they were larger resolution as well but I'm shooting at 200mm with a 18-200mm f5.6 and I can't get as close as I'd like so I have to crop most of it. One day when I get enough money I'll buy a longer lens and then the real bird fun will begin!
Not all owls sleep during the day
The area I frequently visit has only Short-Eared and Snowy Owls as the moment and theres one Great Horned kicking around. only the Short-Eared flies around while the others just sit and soak in the sunlight. I took some bird photos this morning but nothing to brag about so I did this HDR instead for my photo of the day

On Monday I was reading this article in the Missoulian about the snowies coming further south than they have in years. Sure made me wish I had a week off to go looking for them.
