the rw blackbirds were screaming at me to do this:
she's yellin' at him, you don't bring home enough worms! stop readin' yer damn internet forums! what? *another* box from b & h?????????????
this was just a 30-second job didn't do the fine blending work... - but you could take your origs of these two, and make a stellar print imo. the exposures are very close... i used brightened up the screamer part just a little...
Sharring some of my recent shots, some from this weekend and some from last.
Outstanding Brian. Hey shot is marvelous.
Harry http://behret.smugmug.com/NANPA member How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
+ yer exposures are perfect. detail in black feathers = not easy.
Thx, not all of them were. These were the best 2 out of about 15 shots. Another problem with Black birds is you have to get a light in the eye, or your cant find it at all.
Nice images.......
Nice work. All your images look nice. Number 4 is the REAL keeper IMHO. The bird is perfectly composed in the image and you have nice contrast between the bird beautiful feathers and the blue sky.... without losing much detail on the bird.

Canon AE1 - it was my first "real camera"
Canon 20D - no more film!
A fine series of shots The frog is my fav also, but those red-winged BB shots are outstanding Great job on the exposures I know what you mean about getting some light on the eye(s). They are so small and so dark, you seldom can get the eye in focus by shooting blindly at the body
I like Andy's brightening job. He over-lapped a bit on the leftmost bird (blurring the wing), but I like the feather detail the brightening brought out. It does look like the same branch too....lol

Thanks.
I thought it was a bit of a slow day, but folks seem to like them.
