Couple of Eagles from Saturday December 16, 2009 11:54PM |
I finally got a chance to make it up to Conowingo Dam this past Sat. to try the new camera out. It was a pretty good day...the lighting wasn't the best but I'll take what I can get. This was the first time I've shot any birds in flight with this camera...I'm still tinkering with the settings to find what works best....I'm looking forward to going back again soon. Here's a couple of shots I got....

Hey Mark....here's a couple shots of the area..... December 26, 2009 12:37AM |
These are a couple of shots close to the dam.....Conowingo Dam is located about 35 miles north of Baltimore MD....you can do a google search for Conowingo Dam and get some info on the place...
BEAUTIFUL DON..!!!! LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT THE SETTINGS PRETTY CLOSE.. (n/t) December 18, 2009 12:57PM |

Don I'd take what you can get too! December 17, 2009 01:50AM |
I'd take picture #2 on a high res, oh, lets say 20x30 photo matted and framed! 
That is a truly symbolic view of freedom right there. That image is nothing short of breathtaking Don! If something like that is possible though, you let me know, cause I would definitely go for it.
Thank you very much for sharing those with us!

"I visited a number of our field hospitals, and it was the most affecting sight I ever saw, to see so many of our poor fellows breathing out their noble lives. A young man to my left, as I passed through a ward in which most of the patients were regarded as mortally wounded, knowing that dissolution was near, was dictating a last message to his young wife; and another to my right was directing a comrade by his side to send some loving word to his mother; and near by another, whose countenance showed that life was fast ebbing away, looked intently on a picture of some dear one at home for a moment and then fell to weeping. Others were undergoing great mental as well as physical suffering, because they were conscious that they were going to die far away from homes and friends. But the groans and agonies of these brave men shall not have been in vain. Future generations will enjoy the blessings that their blood has helped to purchase. It would be base ingratitude on the part of those for whom they died, were they to make no effort to commemorate their glorious actions."
