Today's Shoot · 06:09 PM

Here are three I got today. Was within 5-6 feet of the Heron. Could not believe. Shot off 30-40 shots before it flew away. The Coyote was another lucky shot. Right place right time. It is in a cranberry field I believe. JIM

not often I comment on nature shoots.. but that seccond image really show that it is on a hunt. Like it

Ole · 02-07-2009, 06:24 PM

Nice crop on the fist one. And I like the bird's concentration on finding something to eat.

heliphoto · 02-07-2009, 06:27 PM

Wow! Fantastic shots Marc!

Just to be sure, you didn't crop away space on the left of this canine did you? Remember your daughters advice

.

Really impressive shots Jim... (Did you get a longer lens or some good camo?)

To be lucky at 5-6 feet

cheers

That coyote shot's a keeper. Selective colouring would make that one pop!

Thank you Ole. I thought at first I may have taken a bit too much off the left side. I may try another crop and post for comments. In this case I was only interested in the having the whole heron in the shot. Appreciate your comments. JIM

Crap, not even close to Marc!!! On the crop I have a little left on that side but was focusing on the bird itself. I will posted another version soon so you can compare. JIM

Could not believe it. normally if I get within 30-40 feet I consider myself lucky. I wish I had time to set the tri-pod up but was more concerned about getting the shot. JIM

Thanks Ash. I still may play with that one a bit though I didn't want to take too much away from the coyote and I thought some of the grass colors blended well with the shot. Cheers JIM

I really like to coyote shot as well.

I dig #2, JIM - a man (or woman) on a mission.

Appreciate the comments James. Lately I seem to be going after wild life. JIM

Jimbo · 02-07-2009, 07:06 PM

Little more brightness added to the shot. It looks much better in full resolution. JIM

Cool Jim- I was actually asking about the coyote... I like the original tight crop on the heron. I went back and reread your OP and realized that that you didn't need a long lens to get close to this bird - How lucky.
