Full disclosure: Right after I finished setting up, I turned to chat with another photographer who had just arrived. I turned back to the river just in time to see a mature eagle swoop over the water, catch a fish, and fly away just 50 yards in front of me... I had high hopes for more activit

The eagle image is a fine one indeed. Did you HAVE to include another cormorant? Dan http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Tue, Nov 30, 2010 at 10:42 AM, Christian wrote: > Hi all; > > It's been a long time since I've posted a PESO or GESO.  I've been crazy > busy with traveling

Hi all; It's been a long time since I've posted a PESO or GESO. I've been crazy busy with traveling for my new job, going to exciting places like, Miami, New York City, Chicago, Paris and Frankfurt. Because of that, my time for photography has suffered except for the occasional tourist snap
