Loved going on this birding trip... My very faves are the loon with the "drone", the 3 darning-needles or dragonflies (MARk C has toname those for us) the Extreme close-up and the spring blossoms.) ann On 8/2/2013 19:54, Stan Halpin wrote: For a nature photography workshop I am taking part in

Stan, Great start for your portfolio. And that Eagle fly-over looks fantastic. The K-5 has an amazing capture of shadow detail. The 3 blue dragon flies on the green plant are still a favorite. Lots of the bird/duck close-ups are new to me and special, love the mussed feathers. Regards, Bob S. On
