Where would one find a bird to shoot? I'm hungry.


Does Harry have something to do with this? I'm surprised there is not a "Funky Blue Bird" choice. :uhoh

Birds in flight.

I think for the most part, the only type of birds we have left around here are the ones that you can get for $4.99 at KFC
Bob.

i take it we're in the mood for bird photography?

I just want to say that as Harry says he does not take part in challenges, KPOTDs, or most contests, I cannot, and I will not take part in a bird challenge.

I want everyone to know that I am not angry about anything there, it is not a payback or anything else.

I just cannot take part in a bird challenge. I just can't........

ginger

Oh, I did a bird calendar, in addition to a landscape one. This is the bird calendar if you want to see some of my birds.......I had enough trouble choosing them.

I am waiting to get a proof back to order for Christmas, really try to sell it, or even offer to sell it.

I cannot tell you how much this disappoints me! I should think you'd be all over this one, Ginger!

ginger_55

I am sitting here thinking we should have a challenge of OUR CHILDREN.....

ginger (I understand why I would be unable to do this one and others would be all over it. Many people do not think of birds as if they were their children):D

I voted for birds as food.........

Now to carry that further, if OUR children were the subjects, I could easily vote for children as food..........

Very well done! This just might be the best BIF photo I have ever seen.

My camera is at Canon...............and may it stay there awhile.:lol4


If it should come back, I am sure that Harry will understand.

Is Harry doing a calendar, I meant to PM him. I did. I am not buying calendars, I just want to see everyone's. I have to say that. I am in enough trouble trying to get mine to the people who suddenly want one. I wish they also sold a mini. I would like to be able to give one to the shrimp people, etc.

Now I am thinking there should, could be a thread of everyone who is doing a calendar this year............at lulu. Or anywhere.

ginger

Cool move, though, Andy.

And I am just kidding about the camera. I really want it back now. It was delivered to Canon by UPS on the 9th, and it is not in their system yet. That is scary right there. Every day, every hour, I think, "oh, I want to go take a photo of this, will do today", then I remember.........

But I do know that Harry would understand re birds and challenges and me....

Thanks Sam. Nice of you to say.....but I can't help wonder if you don't get to see too many of these BIF shots. There are many in the "wildlife" section that are pretty fancy and put this one to shame. This...was obviously a joke. "Up Up and Away"

That's the spirit!!!! Now if everyone else follows your lead it will be a very easy challenge to judge.

I understand Ginger.

Do you want to borrow my dice or lucky quarter, Harry?

I think Im not going to enter either. The weather is getting too cold to go outside.

I've cast my vote given the current list, but, I've got a thought for a future photo challenge. Not sure if it has been done before since I'm new, but how about "Architectural Elements"?
i.e. fences, gates, columns, stately mansions, landmarks, etc....you know, anything of man-made origin with architectural interest.

It's a good idea.

There is a thread devoted to suggestion's :

Well this is going to be the most challenging one so far, with my short reach lens I think I might defrost the chicken in the freezer and see what I can achieve with that!!.

It could have been really bad: Bird In Flight..........

That would have narrowed things real fast.

Lots of birds in rush hour traffic, that ain't rushing. But then this is a PG site?

Whatever are you talking about?

Odd - I didn't vote yet (and am logged in) but can see the results? Someone else voted for me?

Anyhow, looks like we might have a few entries like this?

So, I seem to be way behind the curve here. Does this mean that Harry is replacing Andy for this one challenge? Harry and the winner of 51 choose the finalists?

Andy, that might free you to compete. Think you will?

On "The Bird"....

What kind are we talking about?

This is the kind that I'd shoot.

Here's my favorite shot of "The Bird".
