Take Off

    When you are creating a book like Wild Delmarva you photograph what wildlife is here when it is here. There are lots of Northern Pintails on the peninsula now and I’ve been able to get close enough for lots of interesting detail photographs. Only the best of these pintails will make the book!

      gorgeous bird; gorgeous light; gorgeous capture!

      beautiful sharpness and exposure.

      wish it had taken off from a more pristine section of water... :o)
      but reality ain't always pristine... (ever?...)

      really beautiful shot. kudos!

      when does your book come out? what publisher?
