Thank you.


I think I hate you.


Spend some time with me, that'll remove all doubt.

I apologize for the size (about 100 frames), I'm trying to work
through a large backlog of photos despite several other time crunches.
On the upside, three months ago any one of these would have been the
best osprey photo I had ever gotten.

I do have the photos in the set arranged thematically.

As much trouble as I had getting clear shots (this is trimmed down
from 2200 frames shot over several days at/near two different osprey
nests), it makes me truly appreciate the skill required to get good
photos with manual focus lenses using film. A quarter of these were
shot at ISO 1000 or above and about half were at 640 or above.

They also show my lack of skill at post processing.

They were all shot with the bigma on the K-3 II.

A few are duplicates from earlier preview albums.

Quite an impressive set, Larry. From the total 2200 frames you should have 
more than enough images to make some time lapse videos of Osprey flight 
dynamics. I don't know if your Bigma is the HSM version or not but the AF is 
obviously quite fast. I've tried the Sigma 170-500 on birds & find the screw 
drive AF is too slow.

Thanks.  I hope to eventually have the time to figure out which ones 
they are, and make a set with just them.

Damn right you should apologise.

I would have expected 3 or 4 times that.


If I were any good at it there would have been 3 or 4 times that many.
If I were any good at editing, there'd be 3 or 4 times fewer.
