Your bird photos are wonderful. 

We have a fair number of birds around here, but the urban setting is difficult. 
A bird perched on a utility line just isn’t the same, so I rarely even try

The rain ended last night sometime and FINALLY we enjoyed a dry sunny day.
Was beginning to pick moss from my deepest wrinkles.
Took the D FA 150-450 out for awhile to hunt ducks and geese, as it turned 
out.
Again, nothing that dramatic, but I got to shoot a couple hundred AF frames 
of
snow geese primarily. Am extremely pleased with the clarity possible with 
this lens,
but the snow geese were mainly just a tangle of wings, orange legs, beaks

While many completely usable, I chose, instead, to attach a shot of two

Thanks , Guys

The little sink hole has now become a much larger work area, so to 
speak...


And then there is the reallly big hole across from Cooper Union - an
entire block where a building was torn down and the dig is two stories 
deep - (see there goes the neighborhood in that 2012 gallery)


at least there were Co Ed guys at it pretty quickly - and people in
Duluth Minnesota would just be saying you call THAT a sink hole?

Re: PESO: Eagle Pair

2012-06-13 Thread Stan Halpin

Thanks for the comments PJ, Jack, Frank, Dan, Ken, and thanks to others for 
looking. 
We live across the river from a small nature sanctuary which has had a resident 
eagle for several years. There was mention earlier this year that maybe he had 
paired up. We've seen one every 7-10 days, usually cruising by but occasionally 
perching briefly. To see the pair together, and to see them perched for 15-20 
minutes, was something quite special! I didn't want to leave my viewing spot 
but finally broke off long enough to get a monopod. But not long enough to get 
out the tripod or a longer lens. If there is a next time I will be more 
prepared.

Thanks, Charles  

Hmmm the verticals ( shelf, coffee maker) vertical to me  -  but it 
isn't in the nature of the place to be level :-)


sadly, that includes, I just discovred, the level of food quality - 
yesterday I had two delicious freshly made beignets -
so delicious I had to go back to day for the coffee and 3 beignet 
special.  NO brewed decaf available - only powdered Sanka.
and the beignets were not freshly made and they were overly oily as 
well.  Sigh...


anyway, you aint' so boring

Yes, but the female's olvive coloring has now gone orange...  :-) The male is
just not in full breeding color yet so he is just a little drab that's all.  No

Thanks, Peter! Taken in shadows and I pumped their color probably slightly more 
than I should have which may contribute to the artificial look.
They remind me of what you might see on hand painted pottery.
Welcome back..by the way.

PESO: Finch Pair

We have a very well utilized finch feeder. Keeps my wife and I entertained and 
somewhat occupied refilling and restocking thistle seeds.
I attached a couple wild mustard and thistle stalks to the feeder, to give it a 
more natural look, and reclined on the patio with my K20 and forever attached 
DA 55~300.
Taken from their shadow side. A little quieter image.

Comments?

2010-05-10 Thread eckinator

my first thought of it was to recall Frank's image and think this
could be called interactions, too... as in I didn't look so much at
the picture but at the potential relationship / ongoings between the
birds... jury still out on the image but it had an effect which is
more than many other shots can claim =)
thanks for sharing

 We have a very well utilized finch feeder. Keeps my wife and I entertained 
 and somewhat occupied refilling and restocking thistle seeds.
 I attached a couple wild mustard and thistle stalks to the feeder, to give it 
 a more natural look, and reclined on the patio with my K20 and forever 
 attached DA 55~300.
 Taken from their shadow side. A little quieter image.

 Comments?

That's not a bad shot.  I like the vertical stacking of the birds in the 
horizontal frame. 
You need to go back in a week or so when the male is in full breeding plumage 
and tell 
the female to keep her tail feathers out of the male's face :-)

How much cropping and/or post-processing was involved?  It looks like some 
sharpening artifacts 
are visible on the female's head.

Re: PESO: Finch Pair

Heavily cropped from the silhouette side. They weren't completely black, but 
lacked much detail. PS'd mainly to reduce shadows.
Actually, I've come to prefer this subdued light. So many sunny side male finch 
shots are seriously blown out. I've resorted to a -1/2 comp to help control the 
bloom on their feathers.
Yeah, I noted the edge artifacts, but a very conservative sharpening nudge was 
applied.

Thanks for commenting, Christian!

Yes, but the female's olvive coloring has now gone orange...  :-) The male is
just not in full breeding color yet so he is just a little drab that's all.  No 
need to try to make color where it doesn't exist naturally. :-)

Re: PESO: Finch Pair II

As stated, having been shot in the shadows, the original idea was to stay with 
subdued color to produce a quiet scene. I pumped it for you. 
Plus..changing the color gave me a feeling of power. ;)
This, a rhetorical post.

I commend you for making a 'Feeder' shot not look like a 'Feeder'
shot.  Comes across quite natural - especially to those of us who
really have no clue what 'natural' really is.  Mostly not seeing
man-made stuff in the frame.  I bet you could sit there and shoot all
day - I like this except for the tail feathers in the way.

I agree with Christian that the original was much more representative
of how the birds look.  Either way, it's an excellent composition and
well-timed.

Re: PESO: Finch Pair II

Thanks much, Bruce! Yeah, the tail feather thing bothered me a bit, but not 
enough to get me back out on the chaise for more tries.
I shot a string of them, but this was the only one in which the female didn't 
have her head turned away. Temperamental..I guess. ;)
