Hi Tweets....I am in the "mundane" class of photographers but have been in
the company of some who now make nature photography their life. One of those
is Rob Palmer (the cover of Audubon for Jan/Feb). Last week he and Nick
Dunlop were out on the beaches of Ocean Shores, Grayland and the Long Beach
peninsula with Dan Varland participating in the 4th annual get-together of
all "his" raptor surveyors (they were here last year too). Afterwards we got
to see many of those first photos in a power-point presentation on the wall
in Dan's living room, and now some are appearing on Rob's web site
www.falconphotos.com/galleries under New Images. Under "Biography" he
lists his current equipment...and I can attest to the remarks I have seen in
this thread...if you want really good photos, you need good equipment, but
you have to know what you are doing with it!
