On the run, hand held camera and the first time I had ever seen this bird. Click and he was gone. American Oystercatcher at the lagoons in La
Ribera, East Cape. To view our private "Baja Collection" of bird photos click on the link . Put it on your big screen, invite some friends and
enjoy.

Perfect everything, Oly. Great shot. Belongs on a coffee-table book cover.

Tack sharp, not always easy even with a tripod. Way to go.

Truly beautiful and extremely sharp photos, Big Oly. You're an inspiration to anyone who owns a camera.
I remember quite well the first oystercatcher I ever saw and photographed.
It’s 1973…I’m on an island in Conception Bay. I’ve heard a weird and loud ‘Peep-Peep-Peep’-ing sound and then spotted..an
oystercatcher! Aha…I'll get a photo.
Quickly, I take my trusty 35 mm Pentax out of it’s case. Here we go… Lovely bird…Please just hold still for a moment?
Okay, now to get the shot…but wait, first I need to…
1. Set the shutter speed dial
2. Set the aperture
3. Set the ISO speed
4. Set the ‘mode’ dial
5. Set the exposure
6. Focus…where the hell is that bird?
7. Frame your subject….and Shoot!
8. Develop rolls of film a few weeks later in San Diego.
Check photos.
Well fooey, it could be a bird…or a musk ox.
I might have been thinking this: "Hmmm….wonder how long until digital cameras with auto focus are invented?"
