With bokeh like that, who needs a backdrop?...
That's awesome!! Are you planning to take it out in the wild this summer? I found an Osprey nest near Pompey's Pillar Nat. Monument just east of here and am waiting for it to warm up enough to attempt a day or two of watching. I'm thinking something like this would be perfect. I'd imagine that Cabela's here in Billings would have something like this. Where did you get your blind?
That's great Rick! Would you feel comfortable with your gear if it started to rain? I'm just curious about the construction and waterproofing.
Nice - but you need to be careful with those shadows on your bokeh-board.
