 HN> nature trip for photography

 -> you have to be really quiet to get some nature shots

 HN> (grin) Very Big Very Expensive lenses!
 
Yeah, I remember what my 300mm Pentax cost!

It also takes patience. But you know that. I once knew a chap who
took two years to set up an award winning, money making shot. It was
of young bald eagles feeding. He spent a year looking for an active
nest in a tree with another tree suitable for building a blind in
not more than 250 feet from the first tree and a clear line of
sight. Then he built a blind and waited a year for the eagles to
come accustomed to it, before he occupied it and did a three day
shoot. (He brought plenty of food and beverages, a chamber pot and a
sleeping bag to the blind.) He even placed a tin can ahead of time
in the hole in the blind he made for the lens so that the birds got
used to something metallic shining in the sunlight over time.

      Title: Sebastian's Orange and Garlic Chicken
 Categories: Chicken, Potatoes, Bacon, Grill, Cheese
      Yield: 4 Servings

      1 md Fresh chicken
      2 lg Fresh oranges
           Lots of fresh coriander
           Garlic
      2    Potatoes for baking
           Watercress
           Iceberg and lamb's tongue
           -lettuce
           Stilton cheese
           Fresh bacon; diced
           Croutons
           Olive oil
           Vinegar
           Salt and pepper

  Chop up the fresh coriander, peel the garlic cloves and cut the
  oranges in half. Pierce the orange halves and fill with the cloves
  of garlic. Place the orange halves inside the chicken, adding
  handfuls of the coriander as you go.

  Cut two small holes in the chicken skin and insert a dollop of
  butter. Season the outside with salt, pepper and a little olive
  oil. Place the chicken on a tray, uncovered, and pop into a
  preheated hot oven for the first 10-15 minutes. Reduce the heat
  and cook until the chicken is browned all over.

  While the chicken is cooking, partially cook the two baking
  potatoes in the microwave and then slice in half. Rub with a
  little olive oil and place under the grill until golden brown.

  For the salad, chop up the iceberg lettuce and mix in the lamb's
  tongue leaf. Add the watercress and a sprinkling of coriander.
  Throw in croutons as desired and a little diced, fried bacon. Add
  a little olive oil and vinegar dressing. Lastly crumble the
  stilton cheese over the top and mix well.

MMMMM

Cheers
