Now, do not say I am not an artist. Maybe you can say I am not a good artist. Anyway, making photo art is a lot of fun for me. Here is one I started a few days ago – It takes me a few days to create one:
Dave wrote: Hi Jim, Last evening we went to one of our favorite swamps. We had Soras and Virginia Rails calling non stop. One Sora came right out. We got many shots of it. The Virginias were more interested n chasing non stop so I only got this one shot. We did hear an American Bittern calling but it was far out. We will try again as it is still early in the season here. Dave
I have been searching through many of my old photos!
Dave wrote: Hi Jim, We are finally getting some milder weather here in upstate NY. Here are some shots of a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak and a male Baltimore Oriole that showed up at our feeders today. I was only able to get a few shots of the Oriole as it was getting dark. This the best I was able to get. Dave
My playing around with PhotoShop produced this:
New York City, too, offers opportunities to the photographer like no other spot on the globe – and as you know from the news, folks there always have a message for the visitor to read — & photograph.
This is like an evening in the life of a TGO bike – and its rider!
I encourage all Club to bring your camera with you at all times – I think it trains you to see things that might go unnoticed other wise – Here are three examples: “Snake in the grass”, “Aiming for the moon”, “Hiding gator”
I wanted to help you get to thinking about the lazy day’s of summer – maybe, to help you think like a pet!
Hi Jim, We have had a cold, wet, windy spring here in upstate NY. We finally got a couple of nice days. I was able to get out in my photo blind to shoot some waterfowl.Here are some shots of Wood Ducks and Ring-necked Ducks. Dave
