taking a break

It must have been fun watching these guys hunt.
I like your Three Amigos shot.
From what I see on my monitor, I think you could brighten the midtones a bit?

Where on the Mississippi were you shooting?

Very nice! Great action shots, but I also love that last one best.

Bob, great shots. I love the action of the fish catching. So, where is Lock and Dam 14?

Looks like pretty good fishing for these guys. Nice work.

Great shots Bob. The three in the tree is really good.

Awesome! The last two are especially amazing.

Great shots!! I know how hard it is to get Bird shots. They are awesome. I think I like #4 the best. The Three Amigos is also another fav.

Great shots, especially considering being done with the 100-400 on a full frame sensor

Were these taken at the Nature Conservancy site?

Posted by Bob Karcz on January 22, 2010 at 10:47 PM

Don- these were taken at the Mississippi River locks at # 14, Bettendorf, Iowa. Not sure where the Nature conservancy site is.

More good stuff from your trip. I'm with Jack on the last two.

Great shots Bob................ love the first one with the water trail left behind.
I'm thinking of heading down that way in a week or two .Can you give some
info on where to stay, where to shoot from,and about how many eagles around that area'
Thanks
Joe

Nice work, Bob. Where did you guys stay and eat?

Posted by Bob Karcz on January 23, 2010 at 9:46 AM

Thanks Paul! Stay and eat? Let's just say it wasn't a Tony Trip and leave it there.
