Marching to the beat of a different drummer

[Steve Foss]

Well, OK, it's the same ruffed grouse that Ken and I have been photographing, so it's not different in that way, but is a different way of expression.

Shot this morning with Canon 1D Mk3, Canon 300 f2.8L IS, iso800, 1/400 at f2.8, monopod.

Another incredible shot Steve. This works very well in B&W.

[Birdsong]

Nice. Who would have thought that such a colorful bird (in this season anyway) would work in black and white. But it does make you aware of the intricacy of the head feathering and the wings are really interesting!

[Deitz Dittrich]

love it!

[Dbl]

That eye draws you right into the shot, very nice shot!

[Jim Almquist]

Great shot Steve-lots of motion going on

[Catmendo]

Very nice Steve!

[hendenhook]

Great shot Steve: the motion, the clarity of the bird's head feathers, and especially the angle of the shot, you may have been laying down for that one.

[Yellowhead]

Great shot! I just love the power of black and white

[MN Shutterbug]

Cool.
