Title: grebes all the time
Post by: jackbreakfast on July 04, 2013, 10:01:17 PM

Oh! Hello! It is simultaneously uncomfortable, otherworldly, and vaguely delightful to stand among the throngs of b. photographers on the very famous grebe bridge. Anyhow, here are 2 recent pictures taken along those fine green waterways...

See...now this is why I keep asking you to post more often...
Look at that 2nd picture..it's sooo good, nice low angle and the detail in the whites is perfect.
Great work David!!

Thank you for the encouraging words, Meghan. The first picture could be improved with a lower angle & all babies looking at us, but the exchange is fun. Ah, grebes. And also a caveat for prospective visitors:  Grebe bridge photographers do have a habit of commentating on the grebe action, offering a live play-by-play. If that's not your cup of tea, I recommend bringing your favorite audio device and some good speakers. Play your Italian opera loud enough and you should drown out the frantic calls of "Here comes a wing flap! Here comes a wing flap!"  :twisted:
