Birds Using Selective Color

June 3, 2021June 6, 2021Posted in Birds, Nature, PhotographyTagged birdweekly, Selective Color15 Comments

Our Bird Weekly challenge this week is to use selective color with most of the photo being monochrome, black and white or sepia tone. The challenge for me was to learn how to achieve this effect. It took a little practice but I finally came up with two images I liked.

Above is a male Painted Bunting and below is a Purple Gallinule.

After I chose a few images of birds in flight for Lisa’s Bird Weekly Challenge I realized they were all flying over water. Then I remembered that Terri’s Sunday Stills Challenge: Water in the Details. Thank you both for the inspiration for this post.

Bird Weekly Challenge – Birds I’ve seen this week

April 15, 2021Posted in Birds, Nature, PhotographyTagged birdweekly, House Finch, ruby throated hummingbird, Seen in past week, Tufted Titmouse27 Comments

Lisa has challenged us to show birds we’ve seen in the past two weeks. All of the ones here are from this week.

I’ve been enjoying the variety of birds that have been coming to the feeder in my back yard this week. They are eating the seeds as fast as I can fill the feeder. Some days I just sit and enjoy seeing them without running to get my camera. In addition to the birds featured here there were also Carolina Chickadees, Cardinals, Doves, and a male Painted Bunting in my yard. One day I spotted a Great Egret pruning in the marsh.
