 This is one of my last digital postings for a while, That is the bad news, The good news is that I am heading for an extended stay at the Galapagos for Audubon, but I am getting ahead of myself here, that I will detail later on the post !! This "Mingo"was drinking or eating (very similar behavior)in their pond at Metro Zoo, I wanted to isolate the head along the lovely reflective water, easier said than done, these bird never stop moving for one second, got my tripod out and proceeded to patiently wait for the shots I wanted, a few minutes later it happened for just a second, the sharpness on the image is incredible when full blow, minor cloning of OOF objects in the BG was done, plus a little CCW rotation for proper horizontal orientation. D1x, Raw, Len'=400mm afs-VR + 2X, tripod , Incident metering, 1/500sec SS-f/10, ISO-200, EV=-2/3 on camera, Fill-Flash D-TTL EV=0 (SB-800) Any comments and or reposts are always welcome!! PS: I, have been pestering the Audubon Society to join them in their upcoming Photo Essay on the book regarding the Galapagos, for almost two years, finally they have agreed to take me there (attached to scientists who will be doing field work-AKA-Pro Bona Work)but I can not shoot digital, it all must be medium format, which I have not done in a while, I am sure that after dusting off the Hassey's and sending them out for cleaning and calibration I should be up to speed; It's going to be a long three month trek, since this is supposed to cover all the islands and not just the ones visited by tourits, they will provide the cost of the film, food and lodging, travels expenses will be covered by me!!, The book should be out next year!!, What a lucky treat!!!  Tony, now you know why I don't have the time for you to visit Miami right now, Should be available by August, We'll go out then!!, Must be ready to depart on the 24 th.!! [b]Alex Calzadilla[/b]
