Birding

Nice. Looking forward to more. And I apologize for any contribution I have made to people not posting in the photography thread. It's original intent seems to have been lost if the OP feels uncomfortable sharing. I will refrain from posting as many images as in the past.

Don't pay attention to PAC its just him being fake humble...you know he wanted to show off his pics. post more not less

Good grief. Crazy talk. Post more, not less.

It wasn't just PAC, Dwight Schr-ute also posted in the thread about "tapping out", if it becomes uncomfortable to post, no one learns anything. I like sharing what I've learned since I took this up a few years ago, but PAC's original post alluded to a hope of people learning together. I've learned a lot from many different training forums and online tutorials, but I learned the most by joining a photography site for birds (birdphotographers.net) and posting a few images and receiving critiques. I look back and see improvement in images, but taking a quick look through Flickr, 500px, or other sites just leaves me shaking my head as to how much more there is to learn. As is common among many artists, sharing one's efforts is always an emotional risk. I want people to feel comfortable, it shouldn't feel in any way that something doesn't measure up.

For some reason, I though PAC had started the photography thread, turn out it's AV , still the original post conveyed a wish to provide an open thread to receive feedback and 2 individuals expressed a possible reluctance. I'm shooting something at least once a week. Last week it was a concert of a small scream-o band that my oldest child follows (friends with the lead singer), and my 3rd child's senior photos. Trying to find different looks in the post processing of both.

That's because they are wussies with low self-esteem. Ignore them.

I may be wrong, but I have a hunch you misunderstood what DS was saying.

Plus, DS is a Ute so there's no reason to listen to him anyway.

Exactly. DS is an ass. Don't let him get under your skin. Besides, it was just a weird way to compliment your skills. And another reminder that I need to up my post production skills.

Ravens are cool. They have them 100 miles from here, yet they never come this way....you go to any parking lot west of Vegas, and they are like pigeons. I love birds.

I don't think there are nearly as many ravens here as you think there are. Just the really small ravens of the grackle variety.

There are a lot of ravens. There are also a lot of zanates (Great-tailed grackles), more of them than ravens, but compared to the 1 or 2 ravens I'd see up in Asheville at my grandparents, the 70+ I see in Washington County on occasion, or the 20 or so hanging out in Nevada parking lots seem like pigeons to me.

Hey guys not a birder here but we have a bunch of what I call crows here is socal. I am assuming they are not ravens. Huge birds and they wake me up on the weekends. Super annoying.

[old_gregg]

indeed. interesting tone to take in discussing biology of a certain region with a biologist in that region.

you should probably move away from the landfill and/or place with lots of roadkill
