Here's one from my Saint Paul Island Workshop/Photo Safari in June.

Be brutal!

Thanks everyone.

@Mike - all of the techs for all of my images can be found under the pics in my blog

Cheers,

Here's a full frame Osprey from my workshop series on Lake Blue

Cypress in Florida last year - to join-in on the fun this year, simply

visit my blog for details NaturePhotographyBlog.com

Enjoy!

C&C welcome and appreciated!

Thanks, so much, folks.

Art: I stopped down 1/3 stop from the widest aperture, because I had achieved a fast enough shutter speed and wanted that little bit more depth of field. Hope this helps.

A calm day on the Saint Lawrence during my recent Puffins Galore and

so much more workshop. If you read the techs, you might ask why I was

at ISO 800 - easy answer; it allowed a shutter speed of 1/3200s to

freeze the action I knew would come when it took-off - that image is

for another time.
