Aren't eagles great

Sunday 2nd February 2003, 16:21

In a word YES!

bcurrie · Sunday 2nd February 2003, 21:44

Just beautiful.

Sunday 2nd February 2003, 23:28

T0ny that is wonderful that you liked that shot.Sometimes it is hard for me to remain nonchalant about some things. When others see what I did and think it is ok; I am really pleased. Thank you very much.
Brian Currie... see what a wimpy camera can do??? now before anyone misunderstands that statement it is a joke between us ok? Thank you as well.

bcurrie · Monday 3rd February 2003, 02:28

Gaye, and have you had a chance to look at my wimpy camera Bald Eagle shot yet?

Janie · Monday 3rd February 2003, 02:43

Gaye, that picture is far better than "okay"! Very nice!

Monday 3rd February 2003, 04:48

Brian I have not seen your photo ,but before I do I will tell you I think it is fantastic. See cause I know your photos very well and know that you are one of the guys that rarely ever posts a dog!Now I must go find your eagle.. and I will prepare myself to say OMG!!!!

Janie.. thank you very much for your nice comment.

**IanF** · Monday 3rd February 2003, 05:02

Superb shot Gaye, beautifully detailed

Monday 3rd February 2003, 05:53

Hello Ian.. and thank you for this. I appreciate it.Good to hear from you again.

paula · Monday 3rd February 2003, 22:31

Gaye, you clearly are on a roll now with your new camera and lens. Simply beautiful. Well done

Andrew · Monday 3rd February 2003, 22:52

A great follow up from your previous eagle picture. Keep it up if not for yourself then for us all. We love them.

bcurrie · Tuesday 4th February 2003, 02:30

Thanks for the generous support, Gaye. If the gallery is truly working, then I will go now and upload the shot I like even more. But you can give me your opinion on which you like more (not that you have to like one over the other).

Tuesday 4th February 2003, 05:47

Brian... Andrew and Paula... thanks! Boy am I glad you liked these eagle shots.. they are about all I am really happy with... and Brian I am sure to have a favourite and I will be happy to share that with you.

LuBird · Tuesday 4th February 2003, 10:17

Donna · Tuesday 4th February 2003, 12:06

Gaye, another stellar shot! They are such magnificent birds...so regal. You certainly showed them at their best.

Brian, will hunt up your shot...

Donna and Lu.. thanks.. and I am going to check out that site you have posted Lu... thanks again

mymantra · Saturday 22nd February 2003, 05:08

Beautiful Gaye, and what is this "Wimpy Camera" setup you used ? :)

Saturday 22nd February 2003, 13:42

Paul.... Brian Currie and I have a running joke between us about the cameras we both use. His is the same as my husbands and they both are on the forum for that particular camera.. they both tease me about my new gear.. so the name wimpy is a misnomer but a fun thing we do back and forth.
I have a Canon just like Brian... just that mine is a little different...I use a Canon D60. I am posting some more of my eagle shots as I deleted them thinking that they might just be old hat staying on for too long. I have changed my mind.
Glad that you liked the couple of raptors that are there and mine.

ariddle · Saturday 22nd February 2003, 14:39

Gaye, that is a marvelous shot! What lens did you use to take it?
Alicia

Saturday 22nd February 2003, 14:54

Hello Alicia.. I used the 100-400--IS(Canon)and thank you for taking a look.

mymantra · Saturday 22nd February 2003, 15:21

Gaye-
I suspected as much about your camera, after seeing such a superb shot. I would guess that I too will eventually go the DSLR route. So, I meant to ask, were you duly impressed with my Red-tail shot after finding out what I was using ?

Saturday 22nd February 2003, 16:33

Paul, I was indeed impressed with your photo.. it was a bit soft as you indicated; but having said that I will tell you that a very very good photographer once told me that is not always the best camera that captures a good photograph.. it is being there.. it your eye and how you see things.. it is alot of things in combination.
I liked your photographs.. they said something and if they talk to me, then I will tell you that to me they are then special.
To get a shot of a raptor with any camera and have it turn into a memorable frame is what it is all about in photographing these wonderful birds.
I look forward to seeing more of your birds Paul.

mymantra · Saturday 22nd February 2003, 16:38

OK, now I'm embarassed. I really didn't mean to fish for compliments. You're too kind.
Paul

Saturday 22nd February 2003, 18:39

aw heck do not be embarrassed. I never for a moment thought you were fishing... I wanted you to know what I thought.. plain and simple..
