Hi Everyone
I keep getting asked about my photo's so here's the scoop. I live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. We have the Gulf of Mexico, Beaches, Rivers, Marshes, Mudflats, Bayous, Harbors, and several near by Islands. Much is accessible by car. I had use 35 mm but just couldn't get any shots so I went digital. I got a Sony Mavica with 10x zoom that took great shots but it was only 1/2 pixel and only has a viewing screen and no eye piece which is hard to see in sunlight. I patiently waited and was finally able to get a Canon Pro90 IS which I adore. It has a 7 to 70mm lense and 2x or 4x digital zoom. I have had no luck using the 4x zoom. The picture just seem not quite clear. I have only gotten 1 good pic using it. The Adult Yellow-crowned Night-Heron which I placed in the Gallery. I was only about 50 feet away across the bayou. I have no skill as far as photography goes. I know nothing about cameras. I just get as close as I can. I take a picture, then slowly take a few steps closer. I keep doing this untill I get the pic I want or the bird flies away. We also do this in the boat. We get as close as we think we can and cut the engine and drift closer. I have a blind at home and just made a portable one from pvc pipe to take to out in the field like to the Harbors , Islands, and ponds. Hope this answers everyone questions.
