Beautiful shot, and perfect light and exposure. I see what you mean about the sharpness and shutter speed. Camera stability is the main reason that I use a monopod for most of my shooting. I like the results that you are getting with that lens.

Nice job of catching the fading light at the end of the day in this shot. Try to keep warm. I think that parts of me would freeze and fall off If it went up there this time of year.

Mother and Babies - Day 17

This is really sweet Shez! I like this shot best of the 3 you have posted today.
We now have 6 new chickens running around in our yard. Little ones are just too cute. We live in a neighborhood with many people from Mexico, and having chickens seems to be just a part of their culture. They come to my yard to eat the left over parrot feed with the squirrels, and wild birds that come daily.

I am happy to see that you had a window seat, and that they let you shoot some pics. I hope all is well in SD where you landed.

It looks cold, but has sweet early light. The glow of the fluid going thru the air makes the shot for me.

Day 17 - A Predator in the Neighborhood

A lot can be learned from the way hawks just sit and watch quietly for long periods of time. I do the same when I am looking for a photo op, and the overall scene does not seem to have anything good to shoot.
Good pose in this shot.

You captured the "hurry up" part of "hurry up and wait" in this shot.

That snow is so cool in this shot. It looks like a PP filter has been used to make it look the way it does.
