"I love my deck/balcony" by AndyS. Posted Mon Mar 28, 2022 (recollected by George McGovern)

"Sitting out there waiting for birds and stuff with the 40-150 2.8 (80-300 eq) and this comes along. Seems the lens makes a fairly good macro as it focuses to arm's length. Keep rate wasn't good but the wind was blowing 15mph and this guy moves fast."

Where did you find this one?

I don't recall seeing this one before, and it's a beauty.

He had the eye.

I did this search:


Scrolled up from the bottom of the page and got curious about the entry shown here at the top of the screenshot.


Copied and pasted.

Andy left us with a wealth of photography Peggy!

Even though it's sometimes difficult to see his work, it's always worthwhile. He was so damn good!

Guess I'm thinking of making occasional AndyPosts for the time being and see how it goes. He was so damn good. Down to earth, give you the shirt off his back kind of guy.
