    Default Dedication!

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Harold and Jill made it to Tampa Bay this weekend for a trip on The Hooptie Deux.
    Both are great people and fun to be with.:)

    In addition to fun, Harold is very dedicated and serious about his shorebird photography.
    Harold crawled through the mud and sand until he was in position to capture the images he had envisioned.

    The unnerving thing was, he laid there about 5 minutes not breathing, just to make sure he would not make any of the birds uncomfortable.

    Now that is dedication!

    James

    PS Should some mysterious accident befall me or the Hooptie Deux should sink. It could be related to threats Harold made should I post this image.:eek:

    My favorite part is the socks - but I dunno - the socks can't really be that white if he walked out there in them. Let's check the histogram for clipping on the socks.

    I'd chuckle, but that was me a couple of weeks ago! I had never done any shorebird photography until then. Jim Salywoda introduced me to the finer points of getting low!

    Now that's inspiring! It's always great to put a face... uh... whatever... on a dedicated forum member.

    Don't let CNN get ahold of this one -- they will use it when covering IKE!
