djm34: some more photos

Hi there :) 

I put some more photos of the birds of the surrounding area and a little further away with m33 the closest neighbor to our galaxy. Well, I understand it is a blog and I am supposed to write stuff, but the fact is photo tends to pic for themselves. 

Actually showing photos isn't about bragging about what I can do, but rather showing about what you could do and try to be a little inspirational... 

a young sparrow

young egret :) cute but noisy :D

A black-winged stilt... this one tend to attack or threaten anything which move around... 

a stern

Took that one yesterday with a new lens which can do macro (meaning you need to get real close to the insect, not entirely sure it is the best way to take picture of those but hey...) so here a bee ;)

At the moment, I am trying to do some art-ish stuff and go black and white, actually it work rather well with this one... now I probably need to find a real model :)  

And to finish that "one":  It was taken a few years back while trying to do astrophoto with a guided mount and just a camera and a lens. Actually it isn't one photo per se, but around hundred photos of 1min exposure each which are processed into a single image. Actually it is interesting because it shows that with a simple camera, you can take picture of deep sky object and actually I was surprised myself by what can be obtained. Actually the main problem with that type of photos is that it is really hours of post processing to enhanced all the fine details, in itself it is very different from bird photography where photos require very little post processing... 

Have a nice weekend
