Very nice! Did you use a circular polarizing filter or what?
I think I was using a circular polarizing filter, I know I had it on
earlier, but am not positive if it was on when I took these. *I added

I like it! Polarizing in most natural light seems to almost always
produce at least a green hue to the water, your pic takes it to
another level! Also, when you did the horse in shadow, did you use a
filter for it such as a yellow or orange?

No, the horse was just with a UV (protective) filter.

Man, you got me searching around for my old slr- Hide quoted text -

I just recently got a Nikon dslr. Love the thing, a LOT to learn. It
behaves a lot differently than a film slr.
I'll be trying to pick Reggie's brain!!!!

You really need to get a DSLR, you don't have to pay for developing,
unless you want a print. An old film SLR can cost a fortune to learn on
and you have to rely on someone else to process the film.

The Nikon D60 is a great DSLR. http://tinyurl.com/6hfzsd

Very interesting although a bit green. :-)

Egrets are fun subjects. Here's one I captured in mid-takeoff while I
was on an airboat ride in the Everglades earlier this year:

Yes, I have heard a lot about them. Right now I have a Kodak D40. Huge
zoom, nice lens, but very little adjustment available...

Well you can tell the airboat was too noisy, the damn bird is flying
away.

Egrets and Sandhill Cranes often kept us occupied, watching them from the
deck of the house in Florida.
They walked along the edge of a small, man-made pond/lake behind our house,
with that goofy gait with backwards bending "knees", searching for food at
the water's edge.

There was one crane in particular that really was a pain though. He had no
fear of humans (because people stupidly fed him bread, etc.) and would walk
right up and into your house, looking for a handout. He'd follow you
around, making a pest of himself until you were forced to lure him away with
a chunk of bread. The neighborhood had named him "Harry" as I recall.

No joke.

I looked at the days photos, and I had already taken off the CP filter
when I took the egret photos. I could tell when I took off the CP due
to low light conditions.

At the parks, you will see ducks and geese attacking people to get food.
Animals can become very aggressive and dangerous when they associate
humans with free handouts. They have signs up all over the place to tell
people it is illegal to feed the wildlife, yet you will see mothers
bring their little children down to feed them bread. The mothers always
seem amazed when the ducks/geese nip and bite them. If they had only
learned how to read the signs.
