Title: Back into the swamp
Post by: peternap on May 19, 2009, 07:48:05 PM
I love the Chickahominy Swamp but this is my favorite time of year for it. It is literally alive. I got shots at Herons (White and Blue) Geese, Wood Ducks, Redwing Blackbirds and Beaver...I also had to face my own mortality. My palsy has gotten so bad that I cannot take a freehand picture. None were keepers. I guess it's monopod and tripod only from now on.

I did have my tripod and used it for some of the landscapes. They turned out.

This is one of my favorites. C&C please

Sorry to hear about the need for a 'steady', Peter. Sometimes I need to get the picture enlarged so I can see what I'm looking at.

Keep at it though; nice!

Nice work. No gators in Va. I hope.  :P
