In a world of so many great photographers and writers, I am venturing into some unknown territories, leaving comfort zones, finally very willing to practice the art of seeing. By maintaining the practice of posting daily photos, I hope to continue learning about the possibilities that I trust are out there for the taking.
Good news: I got up out of my computer chair and shots the very active early morning egret antics.
Bad news: One more time my panning didn’t render an in-focus shot.
Solution: A black and white filter!
I shot about 100 photos before I retreated back inside the condo. I was wearing my jammies and the golfers had started to play the 2nd hole where they could see me.
7am activity.
Here are some shots of what I was watching from inside, that called me outside this morning.
Crazed birds.
Tranquil morning.
Linda, regarding your “Tranquil Morning” photo, what if you were to crop in from the left until just before you reach the first tree? But there’s more: What if you were to crop DOWN from the top so that we don’t see the top “horizon line?” NOW your photo is all about a small strip of truncated trees up top and their elongated reflections below. Forget the bird — he looks a tad overexposed anyway. Do I sound harsh? You know I don’t mean to. To me, the artistry in your photo lies in the trees and their reflections, nothing more is necessary. — Carol “feeling overly simplistic this morning” Leigh
Hi Linda,
I love love love the bird pictures. Sorry I missed them during my visit. But at least I can see them on your blog. You have a great life!
