Which are the two strongest images? Which are the two weakest images? Why did you make those choices?<\/p>\n
In the last blog post, Important Rerun: Field Etiquette for Nature Photographers<\/em>, here, I was a surprised that only a single reader, David Policansky (Dr. Fish), left a comment that was on point. When the article was first published on the blog 23 years ago, there were 17 comments. <\/p>\n Have we gotten so used to lots of photos, ten-second IG reels, and whatever goes on at TikTok (I have never visited) that a 2500 word essay is simply too much to handle? If you have any ideas as to why only one person had a story to share, please do tell. <\/p>\n Dr. Fish made a good point. If you keep your eyes open you can often use the behavior of oblivious folks to make a great image simply be getting ready for the take-off shot! They scare the bird or birds and you make a great image or two. <\/p>\n Your truly, Arthur Morris\/BIRDS AS ART, is offering the following used Induru tripods for sale as below. Each includes only the legs and insured ground shipping to your lower 48 address. Please contact artie via e-mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n Induro Stealth GIT 304L in excellent plus condition: a steal at $325.00. The 304L was my go-to tripod for more than eight years. It is perfect for big lenses for folks as tall as 6 feet or so. B&H is offering one in the same condition here<\/a> for $441.95 (plus tax).<\/p>\n Induro Stealth GIT 304L in very good to excellent condition: a steal at $275.00 as this one is also in perfect working condition. The 304L was my go-to tripod for more than eight years. It is perfect for big lenses for folks as tall as 6 feet or so.<\/p>\n Induro Stealth GIT 505XXL (used only very rarely) in like new condition: an absolute steal at $525.00. This is the monster of all tripods. It offers maximum strength and rigidity and can support 88.2 pounds of gear with ease. It stands 81.3″ tall with the legs fully extended. It is perfect for folks desiring maximum stability in windy conditions, those working from a fixed position with very slow shutter speeds, and in situations where you need to ge very tall such as when working a tree nest possibly while standing on a ladder. This is not a tripod that you want to be carrying around in the field unless you are Superman. <\/p>\n I could not find a single one for sale anywhere in the world. It sold new for $809.95 when it was in production. I paid B&H $802.50 for it when purchased new in 2021. <\/p>\n Anita North and I headed back to Stick Marsh on Sunday morning and enjoyed another excellent session. With a fairly brisk wind from the southeast, things were different but the results were excellent. I created 1600 photos, about half the images that I made on each of our three previous 2025 visits, but wound up with 140 keepers after the first edit. Those included a few that I really like. <\/p>\n Today is Monday 17 March 2025. The forecast is for partly cloudy with a WNW wind so we will be heading down to the lake early despite the less than favorable wind direction, hoping — of course, for more clouds than sun. Whatever you plan on doing, I hope that you too opt to have a wonderful day.
