The story behind the photos…. We’re working on a farm in Salinas, they’ve got one of those cash crops where they want a lot of security cameras and we’re doing the installation. As we were leaving for lunch I noticed this fellow caught in something under the eaves of a fairly tall barn 15-20 ft/ 5-7m. When I got back from lunch I noticed that he was still there so I borrowed an extension ladder, climbed up, caught him, and held him in my left hand while I used my work scissors to cut away the monofilament that was twisted around his foot. Once he was clear, I opened up my hand and he hopped onto my left arm. I climbed down the ladder and he was just perched there, catching his breath I guess. I decided to take him over to the yard behind the farm house, or the fence around it, he fluttered off my arm and onto the ground. I grabbed my camera and got a few shots of him. It already had the bigma because I was trying to catch photos of planes flying off after the airshow this weekend. I missed getting decent shots shots of the blue angels, Fat Albert, an osprey (v-22 not the bird), etc. Full album is at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157706191095351 -- Larry Colen [email protected] -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
