Thanks Gene. I think the Condors were all on holidays in the Bahamas!
I had to WORK at the colour under the conditions. Thank heavens for shooting
Raw.


Cheers

Geoff,


Nice set of GC photos. ?Quite a difference from those I took back in July,
when it was quite a bit hotter, and bright sunshine. ?The over low head
clouds really give it a mysterious look and also bring out the colors more,
and the snow gives some interesting contrast. ?All you needed was a couple
of shots with the California Condors in them.?


Cheers,
Gene
