You should save that middle one for the P.O.M. contest.
They don't need to be taken in the same YEAR as the contest is held, just make sure photos are taken within the same MONTH that it's running. Last February's photos being good in this February's and so on.... That is a really niiiiiiice one! ![]()

Nice bird! Are you into raptors? I want to see the bald eagles at Land Between the Lakes next weekend. You can go out on a boat into the lake to view and photograph them.
We visited Barren River Lake State Park today to check out the Sandhill Cranes, our timing was off, we needed to be there at either sunrise or sunset to see them either leave their roosts on the mud flats at dawn or return in the evening. We did drive around looking for them foraging in the corn fields but found none. The nice woman at the lodge didn't really know much of anything about them except she said they see them on the side of the road and everywhere at this time of year, ho hum. We're going to try going back to catch them in early morning, we only live a half hour from the park. I'm pretty sure I'd need a DSLR with a telephoto lens and a tripod to capture them skillfully but I'll try my best to get something with my camera. At least I have a tripod and we scoped out some places to set up for a good shot. |

Thanks linrose I'm not into raptors more than anything else I just seem to have an abundance of them around here. I've been trying to catch up with some sandhills myself you might find this link interesting Sandhill Crane Migration Study

I think the FIRST one is an amazing posture and well framed by the branches--if you can tweak the contrast and brightness a little, I bet you could have a very worthy shot. (Not sure the exact rules of the P.O.M. contest...but I think some minor adjustments are permitted...someone double check me on that.)

I don't know what programs you have but I use what's called Paint, a free and very basic editing program..... You might like to install it and give it a try. It's real EASY! Sage uses one called Piccasa which seems more advanced just looking at what she's capable of doing with her photos. I'm about ready to advance into that one to give it a try. ![]() This is how to adjust them....Using PAINT. If you're pulling a photo from W.G. Shrink W.G.'s page to half size Click onto the photo to enlarge it Drag it onto the desktop (You needn't do any of the above if you already have a photo saved in a folder in your computer, just go direct) Click onto the photo to enlarge it hit the fix button on the top of the screen then the adjust your exposure to the right of the screen slide the brightness button a bit to the left the contrast button some to the right then the close button at the top of the screen and it's *saved automatically* as tweaked! If you want to keep the original as well, just make a copy of it Right click upon the photo then left click copy another right click upon the screen then left click paste should produce the double.... and then tweak that one! Anytime you are in doubt or want to learn something....Ask the gang. They were MORE than helpful teaching me. I knew nothing about computers nor the new digital camera, any of its options, saving, tweaking, putting images onto the site....yada yada yada
