Good morning, Guys.
I just finished shoveling snow. Predictions were a lot worse than expected and it was rather nice out there. The temperature was 31 and no wind. So, it was pleasant with clean fresh air. It was rather enjoyable.
Don, Those are some pretty good-looking bird shots even though I can understand why you are unsatisfied with them. Other subjects we take can be soft and sill make the cut, but for some reason, I like seeing the feathers on birds being sharp and well-defined. But I do not think you had a choice with the overcast lighting that you were dealing with except to up your ISO, otherwise, the movement of the birds would have created a blur. You did good, all things considered. That being said, your compositions, natural colors, and exposures on all of them are great. My favorite is the multi-waxwing shot of the birds. That is something different and fun to look at. I have never seen a waxwing bird, so I enjoy looking at yours.
Thanks for starting our daily.
Dave, Here is another where the poles and power lines "make the photo". I love silhouette of the pattern they create. Good eye, Dave.
Next week I will be gathering with friends at out camera club. It I shall start to share some of my photos with you that I plan on submitting for the "Slide Show". I guess that term as become extinct.
This photo is for the category, NATURE.
I posted two versions, one is ALL IN FOCUS (the top one) and the other as a BLUR AND A BLOOM (the bottom one).
Let me know which you like better.
Thanks, I appreciate your feedback.
