Some recent images for you to marvel over..... haha

Long Key Park in Davie, FL continues to be my favorite spot for the time being !
It works best as an evening shoot for the nice light on the rookery and the incoming Ibis that
flock to the park to roost for the night. Excellent opportunities for flight shots and a great place to meet new photographers such as Aurelio Miranda-Sousa from Miami. Check out his work at
BondbyArt.Com ! Aurelio is getting a new Canon 300 2.8 lens today. Oh Yeah !!

My Canon 1D2N is back in my hands and fixed. Here's what Canon FSC in NJ did to my camera : Replaced body mount , lock pin unit and replaced the shutter unit. Checked all , exposure & focus and cleaned C-mos to factory specs.

Sounds good ! I will try it out tonight at Long Key. Fingers crossed.

However a good lesson came out of all this as I am continued to be amazed at just how good the Canon 40D really is !! It is an all around solid camera and a worthy back up to my Canon Mark 1D2N to say the least !


Here's a couple more form the 40D:

Little Blue Heron in Flight over Water


Cattle Egret in Flight over cloudy skies

Well it seems I am backed up om my images and I can't keep up with posting them on here in a timely fashion so I will show some that I have processed in the past week.

First is my BEST ever image of a Glossy Ibis in flight. I took this at Green Cay wetlands and it was a complete grab shot. It was not until I saw the image on the PC (yes PC) that I went.... WOW !

My next image is a complete lucky grab shot as well. It is a Common Moorhen in flight
which you do not see very often. You see these guys running on water and maybe flying just above the water but you just do not see them in the air that much! This guy did and I "did" too after I saw how nice I captured it. Check it out just below.

So that is my story so far. I am off tomorrow to Sanibel Island to shoot a Snowy Plover nest that is scheduled to hatch either tomorrow AM or Monday AM. Lots of other photographers are already camped out over there a lay in wait for the magic moment. Count me IN !
