Sunrise to Sunset
« on: December 11, 2016, 20:11:02 »
From Mon-Wen last I was in the North part of Greece in a wetland by the sea, created by the outlets of 3 rivers, that meet the sea close to each other.
First 4 pictures: Df+Zeiss 2.8/21mm. Last 4 D500+TC 17E II+Nikon 2.8/300G VR II.

Lovely, §6 is the standout for me, followed by §8.

Great stuff, Elsid.  I like especially #6 with all those birds in that orange light.

Thanks John. These were starlings, in the thousands.

Jakov, Bill, Thanks for your comments. It was a really nice sight to see all these birds flying against the sunset colors.

Yes the 1,000,000 bird shot stands out, great :)

The images all seem to be a bit blurry or not quite sharp somehow on my screen - is it something that happens in some scaling or?

Erik, Elsa thanks for commenting. Erik, I cannot help you on the "blurry". If some other member sees the pictures as blurry, then it is my fault.
