Post by: gjtoth on April 12, 2009, 12:28:53 PM
Lesson learned?  Switch to Shutter Priority when shooting diving chickadees!

Because of dial up I only had the first two come up.  They are lovely.  Way to go!

Judy, it's too bad you can't get the others.  They show the action of the birds going from the branch to a nearby feeder

Great catch and series!

Aaaaahhhhh... good!  These guys move so fast and I'm not quite used to the new camera yet.  Next time, I'll remember to switch to Shutter priority... yeah... right... And pink monkeys will fall from the sky with $200 bills in their paws.   :uglystupid:

Sure thing, Jeanne Lee!  Just as soon as I nab about 600 for myself.  I'll send the surplus to you. (https://www.christianphotographers.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi86.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fk119%2Fgjtoth%2FEmoticons%2Froflmao.gif&hash=4c5e482e86ea459d338f26c4578950d4161c9abe)

Good shots, Gary!

I'll take two of those monkeys also. I got my eye on a new lenses and two monkeys would do it. :)

Great series Gary.

I'll take some of those monkeys too. I'm saving for 17" MacBook Pro. I figure at $200 a monkey I would need 24 monkeys, which would give me a grand total of $4,800. I won't need that much though because I've already saved $10.  ;D

Wow, Scottyboy!  You're well on your way to owning that MacBook!   :lol:
