Spring robin revised

[ladyups]

I did some cloning per Gary's suggestions. I like how the bird 'shows' up better but it kind of messed up the clarity of his beak. I think there must have been a branch in front of it or the bird was eating leaves. Not sure! Anyway, here's the revised version.

Told you I was bird illiterate... I like it much better too, thank you for the suggestion! This is what I've been needing to take my photography to the next level...a class and a great group to critique my work. Thanks, Gary. I'll be hollering later when I get my feeders.

Beautiful!

I think you guys/gals are just being too kind. I've never had my photos called beautiful. Course, I've never really shown them to anyone but my family. Thanks, Susan, you made me smile big.

I really like how crisp that photo is. Were you using the kit lense or another one?

Ok, how do I set this to give me notification when a new post has been posted to a thread? I miss so much unless I just open every thread and look. Sorry, just found this right now.
I was using the kit lens. Or, I guess it would be the kit lens. I bought my camera body and then bought the wide angle 18-70 lens and the 70-300 lens. Since then, I've read where these are both sold as kit lenses with the body. This was taken before I started shooting raw and just shortly after I started using the manual controls. Since I don't know how to add the exif information to the photo, I'll send it by attaching a picture. I've recently purchased a prime 50 mm lens and love it. I like to use it in the house when I'm shooting my grandson in low light. He's still young enough that he doesn't care. I dread the day when he tells me to put my camera away. I'd like to purchase a better telephoto lens but have to save the money first.

Welp... you CAN go to the top bar and click "New Posts". That should do ya. OR, when you make a new post or reply, scroll down to "Additional Options" and check out the Notification Type.

Great...I'll give both of those ideas a try. And, no, I've still not backed up a single photo. I really need to get that started, its back to work tomorrow.

Thanks, Gary!

Nice shot Mary. I too miss some posts even though I have topic notification on. I also missed the original photo before Gary's advice so I'll have to have a look for that thread.

I have the Camera shy problem with my family. My wife hate's the camera and my niece is has her moments when she doesnt like her picture taken.

Ah well, just have to keep getting those crafty shots!
