Hi Nathan.
I just read your Peregrine page, nicely done, a good writing style with enough humour to keep me engaged, some facts and some great shots.
Have you thought about sharing some here as an appetiser / payback for the "shameless bit of self-promotion"? ;D

Cheers, Graham.

Hi,

Finally my website is up and running and I have posted my first proper blog entry. It covers a period of about 18 months trying to photograph some local Peregrine Falcons whilst learning to use my gear, learning about the birds behaviour and getting to know the location. Shameless bit of self-promotion here I know but I would love any feedback and comments on article and the images.

Spent the day at a local farm picking fresh vegetables and fruits with my wife and kids. We stopped just before sunset at a playground for the kids to have some fun. There was a ball field that bordered a wooded edge with amazing fall colors. As luck would have it, a little bit of phishing got this Tufted Timouse quite interested. Shot was taken moments before the sun set and the light was just perfect. I actually had to take the colors down quite a bit in processing but I am happy with how it came. Have a few more to get to that I may post later but I think this one came really nice. Canon 7d2 and Sigma 150-600 C.

Usually more than one! Sedwards, cute shot.

Since it fits here I'll repost one similar from long ago. Maybe we can get a "funnies" string going.

Very nice shot, Jack.

 

[Jack Douglas]

Thanks click. Hoping to see more funnies. Anyone?

steven kessel, like that shot. It doesn't stand out until looking at the higher resolution link and then it is obviously a nice composition that has appeal.

Eldar, also like the cormorant composition. After reading The Photographer's Eye I now am developing a little more appreciation beyond only an admiration for the subject.

This guy was all by itself but was still acting up. Tufted Titmouse with Canon 7d2 and Sigma 150-600 C.
