dryfly Posted May 2, 2008 Author Posted May 2, 2008 Thanks all. The grebe eyes are incredible. Harps... can you tell? Is that a brook stickleback? It should be a brook SB because of the location, but I am not sure. Jeff .. they've been around here before but there are several on 'my' pond this year. one4adventure ... I use a Sony A700. This grebe was shot with a 17-year-old 500-mm Minolta AF mirror lens. A great lens for sunny days. Some more from this week... the pelican was with the 100-300 APO Minolta. The goose and YHBB with the mirror. Quote
bigbowtrout Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Clive you are the MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the pics great work Quote
Harps Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 It is a brook stickleback Clive. You can find them everywhere there's water in Alberta... they've even been found in artesian wells!! Quote
Jeffro Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Awesome photos Clive and looks like the new camera is treating you well. Can't wait to see the photos when you get your new glass. There should be a large influx of eared grebes and horned grebes in the next week or two so get your shots while you can otherwise they will be gone in a flash. Quote
hydropsyche Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 Those are wonderful. Professional quality without a doubt. I especially like the depth of field that mirror lens puts on the Goose. And I bet you didn't even have to photoshop them! Quote
wongrs Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 i don't know a damn thing about photography but those are nice looking shots! Quote
Slyangler Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 You take some wonderful photos Clive. Thanks for taking the time to share them. Quote
