1. Birds

Alternates: Birds Of July selection process

I am trying to decide on 12 of the "best" shots in here. I will be adding and subtracting shots. Any comments left would be very helpful. Goal bird shots representative of the low country of SC, but not cliche's of the area. (Wall hangers 12-15 wall hangers) Thank you, ginger new bird (from summer) put here 11/8/2006 I am trying to keep this fresh, will bring new birds in as I get them or find them.

  • Green Heron: usually very shy, this guy and I hung out for an hour or so the last time I had a camera (on Sunday).  This is the best photo I got of him, it is probably the best photo I got all day.  He was fishing and was quite close to me.<br />
<br />
I called about my camera today, they have ordered a part.  They expect that I will have it back in a week.  I always take a photo from my most recent shoot.  <br />
<br />
Actually, I am running out of ideas of what to shoot at all.  I have always thought of myself as a bird shooter, and every once in a while I have to get back to the birds.  I did that this weekend.<br />

  • I have the horizontal of this picked, probably has more pixels.  Either one is fine.  This is simpler, the other one has more trees.  It seemed to be well liked, it is my fave bird, and he has a feather.<br />

  • This is an old one.  That tree is still there, I think.  <br />
The color casts are so diff in many of my old ones.  They are warm and soft, but different.<br />
<br />
arubaphoto said yes again<br />
<br />
Bothers me that they are so diff.  I may play with one today.<br />
<br />
Someone kept insisting that this was the photo I should use.  Something about "It would look so good on paper" whatever that means.
