HI Lily, I just notice the goldfinch part of the comment, I dont know if they have those in california, but if they do I will get you a shot....Marcus...

Gabriel Fuentes {K:6565} 7/17/2005

Oooh WOW! Stunning, simply fabulous... You are a master of bird photography Marcus. Outstanding composition, perfect dof and focus (so difficult to do on a flying bird!), you give him the room to fly into, and you caught him at an ideal time: with his wings spread out; and the background is just right. I'm very much impressed! (Question: were you chasing after him in an airplane? ;) ...Gab

Bikas Das {K:6544} 7/17/2005

Having tried to capture birds and flight and failed miserably, I'm in awe. Fabulous. I love the angle. Antonia

Jason Mckeown {K:22200} 7/17/2005

Thanks Markus, I wish I was a pro bird photographer, I wouldnt have to work :)

NN {K:26787} 7/16/2005

Beautiful capture; love the wings and the look :)

Tiger Lily {K:10966} 7/16/2005

Hi Marcus, Speaking of ducks, can't get over your duck landing contest shot. It's my all-time favorite bird shot. Like the soft cloud behind her in this image. Here's a challenge for you: How about a shot of a goldfinch? Those guys are very fast you know.
Take care,
Lily.

Marilyn Nagy {K:6008} 7/15/2005

Ah continuous mode! I will try that...lol Just wish I had that lens you have. Beautiful capture as always.

excellent shot marcus. regards.

RJ ! {K:543} 7/15/2005

Great capture Marcus, the bird is exposed perfectly as well as the beautiful sky, perfect in all aspects including the very slight motion on the wing tips..

Tony Hall {K:120} 7/15/2005

This a outstanding vivid capture of something we take for granted usually when seen, you show that they can look so beautiful when in flight,
perfect shot...

Markus Scholz

{K:23722} 7/15/2005

Fantastic shot, Marcus. I don't believe you, when you say you are a computer tech, for sure you are a professional bird catcher;)

Regards, Markus

Darlene Boucher {K:15739} 7/15/2005

Beautiful capture Marcus.......very well done (again!)

Nour El Refai {K:12481} 7/15/2005

David Hofmann {K:22223} 7/15/2005

nice catch, ducks can be hard to get (small and fast)

Ian T {K:-75} 7/15/2005

Another stunner. Super exposure and colour.

George Black

{K:102014} 7/15/2005

Wonderful catch. Excellent sharpness on the head and right wing especially. The wings are perfectly positioned, too.

Always interesting to study your shots, very impressive details clarity.
Ps. do you use any camouflage or sort of bunker to hide or at open air, if possible. Thanks
