May 4: Competition

Del Mar Beach, CA

Fellow Pbaser Herb (aka http://www.pbase.com/herb1rm) and I met at Torrey Pines State Beach today for a four mile photo journey walking north to Del Mar. (I had great fun but lacked his physical stamina).
For more images taken from our time on the coast see http://www.pbase.com/rtwo/torrey I really appreciate Herb’s coaching on how to get good bird shots.

Great capture, Robin! Bird shots are difficult, but you can do it - excellent!

It's a regular "Wild Kingdom" shot, Marlin! :)

Great capture - you got the moment!

Great shot! Wonder if Herb was scaring him off the that honking lens?

Excellent capture! I'm glad you were able to follow in the masters footsteps. Herb gets some fine pics with that monster piece of glass of his. Must have been cool down there. All I saw on my drive to Sorrento Valley this morning was a huge fog bank along the coast.

It appears the birds are having as much fun as you did. :)
