Oddbean new post about login | logout @8976b041 Great detail. You must be pleased with this shot.
@1c2a51db I'm more please I get to see such magestic birds up close where I live. I feel privalidged and inspired. I just love going out knowing such great creatures will be seen every day. As for the shot, I've done better and worse.
@8976b041 What you say resonates Jim. I too have the good fortune of having easy access to the natural world and follow my local bird life. My photography tends to be for biological recording and so not high-end.
@1c2a51db not all my stuff is as good as this Cormorant, some even distinctly low end 🙄. Sometimes judging light is the woods (where I spend a lot of my time) can be tricky. You only see the images I choose to toot, and I try not to toot my 'not so hot' images. Occasionally I will, cos it might be a first sighting that I'm excited about but only got a distant grainy shot..
@8976b041 I totally get it! I might snap something that is unusual, but the quality is poor, and so I am less inclined to share it. Yet, this misses the point that you’ve seen something out of the ordinary and you are excited. Maybe I have to own up to caring what people think of me and my blurred, noisy but lucky shots.
@1c2a51db nah, dont worry about it. Share what interests you and you'll find those who share the same interest organicly. I've been photographing birds for about 18-20 months now. And when I look back, my quality has improved. I have learned so much about the limits of my camera and how to adapt to the 'by the minute' changes to the lighting environment. I've followed you now, so hopefully I'll see more of your photos in my feed now. 👍
