But it was really a piece of cake. :-) Much easier than you think. Like I always say... "DON'T THINK ABOUT IT! JUST SHOOT IT!" click! ;-) I had some bread crackers with me. Called the bird over and gave it a few. Then asked him to fly up to where I wanted him and when I waved he could fly back to me and I'd give him more crackers!!!!!! Did that a few times just like HCB and the guy jumping over the puddle! ;-) Took a few tries and finally the bird hovered in just the right spot as the couple walked into theirs right on cue! See how easy it can be when you "just wing it?" ;-) Now if guys believe that one ? Have I got a deal for you? ;-) cheers, Dr. ted > ==On Tue, Nov 20, 2012 at 4:14 PM, <tedgrant at shaw.ca> wrote: > >> Robert Baron ASKED: >> >> Subject: Re: [Leica] MONO M SEASHORE.... 3 IMAGES >> >> > Interesting to see and thanks for posting.
