One must say, "blind or other wise" you the best! :-) However, what will be interesting is? The next images from the blind now you've learned where this fella hangs out? :-) ted -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of wildlightphoto@earthlink.net Sent: Friday, January 25, 2008 6:15 AM To: lug@leica-users.org; LEG; LeicaReflex Subject: [Leica] IMG: Belted Kingfisher The belted Kingfisher is notoriously difficult to get close to. I used a blind for this photo, and made liberal use of Photoshop's cropping tools. Now that I know where the bird's favorite perches are I can set up the blind closer to teh perch, and with a better background. For now, this is what I've got: http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/alcedinidae/beki03.html technical stuff: R8/DMR @ISO 400 280mm f/4 APO with 1.4x APO-Extender-R tripod & blind All comments welcome.
