My good friends and fellow-traveler in photographing of nature,
I wish in all good summertime, happy holidays and full your baggage with good photographs.

Up to September I will be in enchanting Chalkidiki,in the region Macedonia in northern Greece,
dedicated no so much in the photograph, but in the sea in her fantastic beaches and in the fishing,
I do not know if Internet will be accessible, whenever it is possible I will see
and I will be glad with your photos in the TN.



The Black Stork/Ciconia nigra...I dedicate it in all of you

This scene was photographed in the river Strimonas, little before the delta that it creates in the lake.

Hi Nasos,
A wonderful shot!
Sharp details on this stork in motion, not an easy task.
Also excellent exposure that brings out the iridescence of the feathers.
Love the pose and the BG.

Hi Nasos,

Great shot of a black stork during flight!

I like the beautiful colors of the stork with nice blurred BG which works prefectly well here. The contrast between the colors of the stork and the water is just adorable. The sharpness is nearly prefect with great POV and good DOF. Wonderful composition!

Paras Bhalla

Geia sou Naso,
Fantastic shot! The sharpness, the colours, the composition are very nice. You are very lucky to see this beautiful and rare stork so close. I saw one flying 2 weeks ago, but very hight in the sky. I wish you very good time in Chalkidiki, with its beautiful beaches, rocks, sunsets... I went to Sithonia two years ago and I have very good memories of this peninsula, including nice vieuws on Athos. For sure, you will find internet cafe... but maybe you will enjoy so much nature that you will not take time to spend there! Kales diakopes,
Katerina

Hello Nasos

I like the composition and the dark Bg, only the bird is in the light

Have a good night

Hello Nasos.

Thank you for that picture of Ciconia nigra

Splendid composition, full of life and movement. The sharpness and the depth of field are very good, so that we can see many details. The colours and the contrast are realistic. Efficient point of view, delivering us the sensation of the flight of the bird.

See you soon on treknature for other pictures.

All the best.

Philippe.

Hi Nasos,
Oh, black stork again... Wonderful in-flight shot MF. Absolutely excellent. Bravo.
I wish You nice holiday in Halkidiki - I was there in 2004 for a week and it was really enchanting. I hope You won't forget us and return to TN with many good photos, with such perfect ones as this.
Best regards from Hungary, László

extra-ordinary shot, nice timing and composition, the free space on the right adding the action of where this stork will be landing
