Marilynne's Wetlands and Other Stuff

Abandoned

Yesterday I saw an osprey going in to a swoop, but I was on the other side of the tree line, by the time I got there, he already had his fish.

Showing off

Marilynne, I like what you did capture!! Good job as always!

Thanks Pat! Just wish I was on the other side of those trees. One of these days, I will get that shot!!!

Our friend Ron (rfactor) - quick shot outside Bru's - how'd I do? I'm not that great with people photos.

Thanks Don. Still waiting on getting one of them in the swoop!!

Good luck with getting the moment of capture, Marilynne. It is a daunting task, requiring great tenacity and patience; and copious amounts of good luck, too. You are not helped by the available foraging range for our raptors here in the south, since they aren't really focused on any particular place to hunt. It can almost be that you'd need wings to follow them around.

Your post catch shots are great. Keep them coming!

Thanks WM. I have two ospreys that I'm watching, Ozzie and Harriet are always on the same telephone poles. They don't spook when I'm around any more. I can get right under the pole without stressing them to much. One of these days I will get them in that swoop!!

greats shots Marilynne, the only bad thing with your thread is there are that many great shots i forget to like them as i scroll though.

 

[Marilynne]

Thanks Roy! Glad you like my work and for taking the time to look at them all.

These were taken after the sun was very low in the sky. I thought I needed the flash, but I think I ruined them with it.

This was cropped to remove the trash.

So where did he go afterwards, right next to the trash.

I was able to get his body to blot out the trash

Without flash - much better

Enough already, I'm outta here

You did good. Just think of people with big teeth and a long tail or that they have wings then you will do OK

I think you should be able to bring back the details in the birds with a little Post Processing.

I did pp them already. They're just washed out. The fourth one down looks the best without the flash.

Thanks Don, I still haven't heard from Ron, so I don't know if he thinks I did good.

Mairlynne, I am sure glad that when that tree screamed for extra color, that you were there to hear it.

Thanks Pretzel. He swore to the officer it wasn't him and he ratted out the guy on the end.
