For Better or Worse

bfjr

Well I finally broke down and set up a sorta kinda proper Photo processing station which includes

2 monitors / properly calibrated

1 decent Dell desktop

a workflow that's well workable

below are the 1st few shots using the above

I apoligies for the lack of exotics, but the BckYrd is what it is for now :rolleyes

Maggie


Henry


Flying Hummer


Hey I know that LOOK !! :rofl :rofl


I must Say
2 monitors very cool
proper calibration really helps !! Not so much guessing and colors snap
into correctness if you know what I mean

I do Say :rofl sorry could't resist :bad :rofl

Very nice Benjamin. The hummer image has "wow" colors
As for the upgrades ... it's only money! :ivar

Maggie and Henry are looking just as fine as ever. That hummingbird image is spectacular. And I get that "look" quite often and not from birds all the time if you know what I mean. It also sounds like you have yourself and really cool set-up. How geeky...and I mean that in a good way.

Sweeeeet! Gotta get myself set up properly one of these days...

Excellent captures Ben and that sounds like a sweet set up too. Hmmm, looks like you came into some $. Wanna buy a used D2X?

I want to hug Henry. I won't bother trying with Maggie, she'll bite my fist clean off.
Cockatus are so cuddly.
Your setup works lots of poppy colours!! Very clean and very bright.

*must buy video cord and use 42" screen soon*

much sweeter

Sometimes when I'm at work, somebody will call me a computer geek... my response is usually, "That's Mr. Computer Geek to you... " :ivar

Ah you got that backwards:

Maggie is a sweetheart and after she gets to know ya, you can hug away
Henry on the other hand is just plain Psycho, I'll tell ya about it some day

I do enjoy them both, we make quite the threesome

Yeah it's a comfy Bckyrd and does have some photo ops every once in awhile

I'm even working on getting my Moody Blue formula down, now that my computers are set up correctly.

Here's a 1st attempt:

The Cockatu is the mean one???????? That makes no sense in my mind at all. Cockatu's are known for being cuddle monsters but Mackaws are known for biting fingers off.
Both birds are smart as all get out.
DO they talk to you at all? Have they asked for glasses of water yet?

Gale

Those Parrots are beautiful

akmoose

Really nice shots. Love the hummer!

Awais Yaqub

These are so beautiful colors are so cool

Long story, Really

short version

Henry is a wild caught breeder who many years ago lost his mate and was then past from home to home until he was left at my doorstep some 15 yrs ago. It took 3yrs before I could even approach his cage and couple more before he bonded with me. He remains a mental case, but now he's my mental case and we see things the same

Maggie is hand raised by me and is simply a joy and a sweetheart (most of the time) :ivar

Like I said this is the very short version, and it is quite a bit more complicated but suffice it to say we are happy a little flock and I am a better person because of it

They talk when the mood hits em, but they never asked for water, their tastes run a bit stronger

Hummer
That shot of the Hummer is great!!

And, who couldn't love a mental case cocky? They love giving kids a nip!

Cheers, Maynard
