I recently set up a website (but it's not the social network that Flickr is). I invite you to take a look and leave a comment in the guest book. I've also written a blog on how to meter for birds in flight. I hope you find it useful.

Usually I cannot get very close to Shovelers, but yesterday they came quite close.
Please check out my website and blog, and leave a comment in the guest book. .

I was recently asked about my favorite shot and the shots of this White-tailed Kite came to mind. I especially like how the feather detail is emphasized by the colorful bokeh.
The shot was taken in Malibu at the park across from the library.
