Thanks allot guys..I've sold a few to a few publications and organizations. I do it mainly for fun. I'm not averse to selling the occasional picture if someone emails me wanting to use one for a book, article, papmplet, etc. It helps me pay for equipment and knives..
 
I'd love to know how you got such a good shot of the Harris' Hawk. Fantastic pic.

I was walking through the south texas brush looking for reptiles to photo (Caon 40D and 70-200L) and came upon the harris hawk sitting on a mesquite about 25 feet away. I guess I surprised him because when he turned and saw me, he took off to my three o'clock and luckily I had my camera on AI and multi shot. So I snapped off a few. simple right?

Timing is everything. I've never been able to get that clarity. You have your timing down and camera set right.
Great pics.
 
Jason,

Great work! Those photos are a real pleasure to look at. You should be proud!!
As a lifetime Nikon nut, I was bummed to see you're a Canon guy... ;)

Stay sharp,

I was a Nikon Guy in College but that was just a phase :eek:

I like both Nikon and Canon but I just ended up with Canon gear. I had a whole slew of Nikon lenses and an FM2 that made a little money on the side for me in school.

As a student, I always liked Nikon stuff, but could never afford it. When I was young, I enlisted in the Navy as a Journalist. Uncle Salty taught me photography on the Canon F1. But at my first duty station, I was given a Nikon F2 to work with.

After the Navy, I started buying Nikon gear and never looked back. I could have just as easily bought Canon stuff (but I'm glad I didn't... all my Nikkor glass still works with my latest Nikon digital body. Canon left their fans holding obsolete lenses more than once!).

Anyway, Canon, Nikon... it's all good! :thumbup:

Nikon F2S, F3HP, F4s (x2), D70, and lots of glass!
 
When I first read the topic on this thread, I was expecting to see photos of flint napped knives and sharpened sticks.

I was pleasantly surprised to find these great wildlife pictures. :cool:

Some great images my friend. :thumbup:
