The fishing has been so good at MINWR lately that I've left the camera at home a few times. Last week I decided to bring one with me, and I ran into a few Flamingos. I had to go back to the truck to get the camera and the birds were kind enough to hang around. (Otherwise, birding is a little slow around here.) Shot handheld from a kayak.

Thanks. I still think it's got some noise after my noise reducing attempts, but it's always nice to hang out with these birds.

This is excellent +++! The low camera angle was perfect….

Almost as if you had paid them to pose. Such a beautifully composed image. Well worth the trip back to the car.

Nice job! They looked a little miffed that they had to wait for their photographer to get his camera !

Nice poses and great lighting.

Spectacular!

Nice shot. So is fishing getting in the way of photography or vice/versa?

 

[BobbyV]

Thanks for the comments. The kayak provides for some nice, low angle shots, but at the same time that's all you get since your stuck in one position. I still haven't figured out to carry the camera, big lens, PLUS fishing equipment in the 12-foot yak.

This is excellent. I have been to Florida a few times but never seen flamingos in the wild. (Looking forward to my first sighting in Doñana National Park this coming February).
