20110210-1382 Winter White-out
Some seem to think that bird photography for me is just a matter of point and shoot. I have posted this photo to show the conditions that I am out in. Today's temperature was -17 degrees with wind gusts of 40-50 kilometers per hour. Late afternoon out in the open shooting in these conditions is feaking brutal. Hands get frozen, camera slows down, battery dies quickly, and half the time you can't see where the birds are. But, I persue my quest for the "ultimate image". BTW, that is a road with 10' snowbanks.
