Editing for this shot consisted of a crop in Ribbet. Shot in Aperture Priority Mode using a 55-200 lens.
I know, another Goldfinch shot. I can't wait for the Rose Breasted Grosbeak to make his way back. Oh, and hummingbirds!
An interesting thing happened yesterday, I was looking at my 365 photo for the day on a desktop monitor and noticed the background to be very overexposed/almost neon yellowish. However, my laptop monitor had the scene looking as it should. As a result, now I"m not sure when my photos actually need to be processed or not....This photography stuff, it's confusing. :)
Awww, pretty boy! I was out taking bird shots this morning too! That is hysterical! The exact same thing happened to me yesterday and I don't know what to do about it. I posted a sunset pic that looks almost black on my desktop, but perfect on my laptop!
Ahhh the joys of the medium... Once up on a time, I was not a fan of a particular painter, I found him to be a drugged-up self-aggrandising mop of a man, despite having several books in my library of his work. I never understood the attraction. Then one day, by force, I was dragged kicking and screaming into a gallery which was showcasing a retrospective posthumous collection of his work.
I stopped.
The colours that this man used, the bigger than life approach to his subject and the movement he garnered out of the canvass. I was amazed and became a believer.
I had finally understood.
Here was the vision that the artist wanted us to see. The colour, the scale all lost in the printed books.
You, Melissa, myself, everyone else whom posts to the 365, miss out. I edit my images on my screen using the light in my current house and unless you can re-create all of that somewhere else, you will never view it in the same way. I too have edited on one machine and then viewed my posted image on someone's iPad a few days later, and I have noticed the differences.
Thanks Laurie! Sorry to hear that you're having monitor issues as well. Maybe a computer savvy person will come along and help us both.
Thanks Graham!
Feel free to come take the bunch from my yard. :) Thanks!

*sigh*
So, why did you own his books in the first place?
Oh. Meanwhile, I want the bird pictured here! http://trevorsbirding.com/top-5-great-birding-moments/

He looks like he's wearing an ankle warmer around his neck, I like him. :)
That's too funny!
