Hey I am new member, but have been looking for a while. Enjoy all the info and the images. This was taken 4-3-08 just after a pea sized hail squall, it was still raining. Taken with a Olympus 510 75-300mm ( 600 35mm EQ) 1/100 5.6 ISO 400. I have had to mess with it to get it under the 200k, other than that I bumped the contrast a bit. I am in west central IL along the Mississippi R.

Welcome, Kendall. Glad to have you with us.

This image tells a great story. The herons look absolutely disgusted with the rain--and maybe with each other.

Welcome to NPN and the Midwest forum, Kendall! :wavey:

The birds do look a bit unhappy with the weather...nice catch.

Wonderful! Avian watchmen with an attitude. Even better if cropped to right center to remove left overhanging tree, emphasize center(s) of interest.
