KEEPING WATCH

Awe,....thank you so much Maggie! : )

Thank you so much Hawker! It’s certainly a challenge to capture these busy little birds! I find it almost more of a challenge to capture them perched than I do capturing them in flight. : )

Lol,....thank you Brian! I think that sweet juice I put out has her looking her best. lol : )

Thank you so kindly Luda! : )

Thank you dear Lynn! : )

Thank you so much Kathy! : )

Thank you so kindly CJTill! : )

Thank you so much Gary! I find it can be challenging capturing these little birds without too busy a background, but this one sat in just the right spot to lend a nice soft backdrop. : )

Thank you so kindly dear Bela! : )

Awe,....thank you so kindly David! I always look forward to your in depth compliments. : )

Thank you so very much for your kind compliments noffi! I am so happy you enjoy the information too! : )

Awe,...thank you so kindly Rajeev! : )

Thank you so very much Marvin! : )

Thank you so kindly Dave! : )

Thank you so much Ann! Yes, my holiday is only weeks away now and I can hardly wait! : )

Thank you so much Stan! Heavily cropped shots can show fine enough online, but they are pretty useless for anything other than a small print. Photography is a form of art and so capturing it compositionally balanced right out of the camera is part of the challenge in producing a good shot! : )

Thank you so kindly Curitss! : )

Awe,....thank you so much Wendi! : )

Thank you so much Scott! : )

Awe,.....thank you so much Luda! I hope my processing gives you an idea for your own and I look forward to viewing the end results! : )

When it comes to editing creatively, I too edit differently for each and every photo, but I try to remember to write down on paper as I go along, so I can share how I edited each photo with the viewers. It’s too bad your laptop shows photos differently than when on your home computer. Perhaps there is a way to set your laptop up to the same color profile ect as your home computer? Don’t work too hard! : )

I had to spend one long day getting my computer set up and profiled to show my photos the way they appear when printed on my own printer, as well as to how they print out on retail printers. Of course, that is if the retailer doesn’t adjust to their own liking. lol I’ve viewed my photos on a few friends and family computers and they appear the same as I see on my own computer, so that made me happy! lol

Yes, they sure are aren’t they? Many kind thanks Al! : )

It was a lucky chance as I had my camera on the tripod and managed to get her framed before she decided to fly away. Thank you so kindly Lynda!

Thank you so kindly Rick & Deb! Sorry for such a long delay in saying thank you! I have been away on holidays and since getting home, I have so much to tend to, especially since our area has been hit with a heat wave. Many kind thanks again! : )

Just a little patience and it can be done! Thank you so very much Barbara! : )
