Some of you may have seen this. I know Dave and Godfrey has because I asked for some help on some photoshoping. I think the english name for this bird Red-throated Loon. The title of the picture may seem obvious, but there is a bit more to it. So I litle expanation may help. These birds are very adapted to life in water. Because of this, they have the legs on the lower regions of their body. And this makes them very clumsy when it comes to walking. Unlike the pinguins thet don't have a upright walk. I guess thats because they are very shy, and upright walking would have made them very exposed towards enemies. In fact they don't walk at all. So they basically have flying mode, diving mode ad swiming mode. So they have a major problem going from swiming mode, to flight. It takes a lot of preperations, and a lot of energy. So it is challenging, and every now and then, I expect they fail (like Challenger did). More than enough words, her it is http://foto.no/cgi-bin/bildegalleri/vis_bilde.cgi?id=331054 (My good site) Panned with my faithful conpanions: K10D and K-500/4,5, and gimbal mount. 400 ISO, 1/250, and most likely f:8. Bricks, tomatoes, sugestions, or just shameless praising, all appresiated. Tim Typo Mostly Harmless =========== Interesting shot, interesting angle -- like repeated skips on water. I like the color one better. The slight red on the feet helps delineate. Second choice is the straight B&W. The septa toned one doesn't do much for me.
