Great Shots Fish
that bridge looks familar to me?hehe
Dave

Geez, I'm loving this place. In fact, yesterday I purchased an
annual pass, and I figure with only a $3 bridge toll (each way),
and about $5 in gas (round trip), for my Geo Metro, a full day of
play for $11 total, is pretty darn reasonable..... even for a poor
man like myself.

Red Tail Hawk



An Osprey ? ....or is it a Perigrine Falcon ? Help me out here....



This little Meerkat is king of the hill



The Prairie Dogs are just too darn cool



No matter how many we see, these things are just too beautiful to
get tired of, huh ?



Here's my favorite creature, the Mandrill..... a fairly heavy crop,
but you get the idea ! How would you like to run into this guy in a
dark alley ?



Pano of the SF Bay bridge on the left, and San Fran on the right,
taken from Treasure Island, on the way home from the zoo



Hope you guys like them,
Peace,
Fish

PS, I have really been working hard to eliminate blowouts, but I
think I might have to start doing a few bracketing shots, and
follow with a bit of PPP.......

Thank you, but now that you mention it, that white spot in the Redtails eye, is bugging me too ! Geeeez.... there goes another 8" x 10" sheet of photo paper

I think that is just some kind of glare, but still, I'm surprised I didn't catch this before. Funny how you can show one photo to a whole bunch of different people, and many, if not most, will spot all different types of things about it... some negatives, some positives, some neutrals. Hmmmm.

Peace,
Fish

Fish, the Red Tail Hawk is gorgeous! I downloaded to my HD just to
keep looking at it and to send to a friend who is into birds.
Can you blip out the tiny spot in the center of the eye? somehow it
attracts my attention when it shouldn't.

Pano is cool too. I tried to take a shot last month, but didn't
have my S7000 with me ;> (

Fish, I've circled in thermals with red tails in my glider a number of times and have marveled at the infinitely superior control that they have over their maneuvers than crude manmade mimics, but never saw one this close up. Great job. Thanks.

Hey Fish, really nice shots. Man, you're doing great with your shots, not only the hummers.

IMO all pictures are very well done, and you shouldn't be concerned about blowouts on these ones. Bracketing is great, and using Herper action to blend the brightest with the darkest shot it's a piece of cake. Oops, I forget you are using a Jurassic photo editor
