@Samurai
So you got a kindle! I have seen it with a couple of my friends, they seem to adore it.

The Northern Spotted Owl, lucky to capture this rare and endangered species native to North America.

Hopefully I'll use it more than any dairy.

Yeah, any book lover got to have it. That E-ink screen is a marvel of technology. It is just like paper.

Thanks for suggestion TG, I dont have other photos of this location. Next time I will have to take same shot with different angle.

How about vertical shot covering only nest and the bird. No disturbance.

Shaju, cute birdie. I have a nest in my home but entrance is through bottom!

Posting some trials with night shots. No professional editing apart from resizing, critiques welcome.

Too good nimble. Even after about 120 snaps, I have not even neared you. BTW which lens and what exif?

[nimbleguru]

@jacs: This is real embarrassing situation for me.
Lens are the kit lens that came with Canon EOS 1000D.18mm something.
Not sure what exif is ! (I'm such a fool ).

Don't worry, in the pre-google world, many of us remained like that for years.

@Samurai : Imagine how dumb I must be in "Post google" world.
I guess I'm too lazy to even google the details myself

Here's my attempt at "Tilt-shift Effect"
I did not get the right tool for the blurr effect.I don't have and don't use Photoshop.



A Macro mode experiment : Still way to go.

I'm no expert but the snap of grasshopper is too good for a newbie with 18-55 Non IS kit lens .

BTW, what software you use for resizing images. They have not lost their charm even after resizing.
