Thanks Tony, I live on Raritan bay so most of my shots were taken on Sandy Hook, along the bay and some in my back yard since I live on a small coastal lake.
No, I don’t have any shots of owls but I heard one the other day on Sandy Hook so maybe soon:-)
Thanks again and have fun

Very nice gallery! I especially like your action shots. As everyone here knows, photographing birds is the most difficult of subjects to photograph- and you do it very well! Whereabouts in New Jersey do you hail from? I've recently become addicted to photographing birds and my favorite sites are the Great Swamp, Brig, Barnegat Lighthouse and Sandy Hook. By the way, have you had the fortunate opportunity to photograph that elusive snowy owl?
Thanks again for sharing your great shots!

As always, Ospray, I expect nothing less than impressive work :) Great gallery. Voted!
Guest 23-Oct-2005 21:29
Great Gallery! There were a couple shots that made me laugh out loud. My favorite is the yellow crowned night heron doing his balancing act with alot of concentration. I enjoyed the trip! Thanks. Lynne

Hi Steve,
The 500 is mighty big, long and heavy and I wonder if it would get in the way of getting good action shots where you need to follow the subject or point and click almost instantly before the subject flies away? Part of the fun in wild life photography is getting close to your subject and I’m not sure if I could crawl through the thick brush, swamps or woods with the BIG 500? Anyway, I love my 100-400 and I don’t see myself spending the money on the BIG ONE any time soon.
Guest 04-Oct-2005 17:20
I'd love to see what you could achieve with a 500f4, serious money but, serious quality too.
osprey09-Sep-2005 02:31
Well, thank you VERY much and no, I’m not “professional”. This is all for fun:-)
Guest 08-Sep-2005 21:04
your least tern dive pictures are amazing! You've got a lot of talent! Are you professional?
osprey03-Sep-2005 16:25
Anna, thanks and no, definitely not Hawaii, every picture in this Gallery is from US, New Jersey.
Anna Yu02-Sep-2005 20:18
Nice gallery Mike. Did you take these pictures in Hawaii?

It all depends on the size of your wallet. All pictures on this forum were taken with Canon 20D and 100-400 canon lens, which would do just fine with the 100’shot you’re looking for. There are better lenses and cameras however, which will give you more detail on a long shots but the prices are steep. If I was you I would wait until I learn more in school of what I really need, before buying anything.
Guest 30-Jul-2005 23:18
i am giong to college in the fall for photography, i hope to be a nature photographer, any advice on which camera to get for college and ways to get the shot that seems impossible- for instance an mating pare of osprey 100 feet in the air on a telephone pole?
osprey04-Jul-2005 01:22
Thanks Dang and Rishard
Guest 03-Jul-2005 12:59
Wonderful gallery, all well taken. Nice work, thanks for sharing.
Guest 24-Jun-2005 23:00
You have a really nice gallery wth some great shots.
osprey14-Jun-2005 19:29
Thanks Hugh. Is it ease? I don’t think its hard but it takes some time and some experience to get close enough for a good shot without spooking your subject.

Dominic I’m glad you enjoyed it, thanks. As you can se I have a thing for Terns and your shot was just perfect.
Dominic Cantin14-Jun-2005 07:31
Excellent gallery Mike !

That's the kind of birds pictures I want to do , now I know where to inspire me :)

Thanks for your kind comment on my tern picture !

Dominic :)

Very nice collection! Birds must be very fun shooting.....if not so hard. Is it? Well done.
osprey12-Jun-2005 01:06
Thanks Guy and Scott.
Guy, the splash shots are relatively easy and require only little practice. The difficult pictures are the actual dives like in Dive2, which frankly require more luck than skill.
Guy Schmickle09-Jun-2005 18:07
You've got some nice work here. I like the action you've captured with your Tern shots. From my limited experience trying to shoot them, I've found them to be difficult to capture.

Thanks Chuck, all pictures were taken with Canon 20D and a Canon 100-400/4.5-5.6 EF-L IS USM Zoom Lens.

Nice gallery. I wish the exposure info and equipment used was posted. Part of the learning process for me is seeing the data on a photo. :)
