I just visited your bird forum, for the first time. Awsome photos you and Myelo have on there. My wife loves hawks, so I hope you don't mind I d/l all your hawk photos to show her.

Oh, jeeze, I forgot how passionate those birders can get when they think someone's actually interested in birds. Kinda like when someone of my friends wants to talk airplanes with me, lol.

Ummm... I don't think I've gotten passionate about it. It's a fun hobby. I have noticed people are definately passionate in the anti side of the house though. I swear there's alot of people that question their sexuality on a daily basis around here. .

Feel free to download any pics posted there. Let me know if you'd like them in greater than 800x600 resolution. I think I have about 90% of them in 1024x768 or larger.

You should grab Photoshop Mini. Adjusting the levels and saturation with a little filter masking can make a big difference in a pic.

Nice shots.

What camera/ lens combo and film do you favor? Nice work.

I have CS torque. I'm still trying to learn the neuances of it, though.

It's all the camera... a Canon Digital Rebel (300D) SLR body. I have the cheapest Cannon 75-300mm telephoto lens you can buy attached to it with a very cheap doubler. Torque and Saburo have the high end glass and it makes a big difference.

I'm planning on buying a 20D later this year and giving the 300D to the wife. I'll have to see when I can scrape together enough extra cash to get a big high-end lens to go with it... But that's more than the camera body itself.

Somehow I just cant picture MiniD gleefully prancing around the forest snapping splendid photos of small birds.

I make up for the wonderful feeling by stiffarming any mountain bikers that come within reach. I could really pull a soapbox out there and go off... but I think I'd prefer just stiffarming them.

MiniD are all those taken at your work site's ponds?

Mini D · « **Reply #12 on:** September 21, 2004, 01:18:53 PM »

There's a thread titled "from work" where all of the pictures are taken from here at the ronler acres campus. We have 23 acres of wetlands here.

I see it now, all looks good but I definitely think you could take advantage of better lens.

This I know grun. I take the compliments on them in stride. They could be much better. The sad thing is that even with $2000 worth of glass, they'll never be as nice as the digiscoping stuff that's showing up these days. Oh well, at least I'll be able to point and click.
