CS #329 - The eyes have it

[catalyst]

Intensity of purpose

shot through unclean window

Bob - Nice shot of that female Downy (I think!). They don't stay still for long in my experience. Good eye again!

My first pic post to the Cafe shot with a brand new d600 and tamron 24-70 2.8

You are going to have a great reception here, I'd imagine. :biggrin: Spot on for Patti's CS theme and fine work. You are certainly going to enjoy shooting with that combo.

Hope to see you back here in the CS (and elsewhere) next week - and welcome to the Café! :smile:

Trying out my new 60mmf/2.8G. "i" like it.

Dear Birgit -

You, your gear, your intelligence, and your skills are all *awesome*! Great to see your work back in the CS. :smile:

 

[tmldds]

Tri - those first two make me want to get down to TX and go out listening and shooting with you at that venue. :smile:

As for the third, I will give you a "provisional pass" for dropping in a shot outside of the time frame - even though I don't have such powers and because this is Patti's CS in any case. :biggrin:

Thank you everyone. Eric, anytime, just let me know and I will take you shooting and eating!

Dave - That is *perfect*! Great work and spot on for Patti's theme.

I'll admit that if they all were perched near my computer (thinking of Ed's first contribution), I'd not go near it. :smile:

Thank you Eric.

Al -

Around our household, who loves it vs. who hates it is normally determined by "whose turn is it to shovel our driveway". :biggrin: Good stuff!

Cheers Eric :biggrin:

We’ve had several very nice shots of expressive babies and youngsters. How about a feathered youngster, this juvenile male Downy woodpecker? His eyes were on his parents who were trying to teach him where he could find food on a cold, windy, and wet winter day.

Thanks, Sam.
Neither the conditions nor my technique was ideal, but sometimes the content supercedes the technical aspects. [Did I say I liked this one?:biggrin::biggrin:]

I wanted to push myself to not use such a literal translation of eyes...

Thanks, Paul. Except fo a tiny WB adjustment there were no adjustments made to the colors. [The D200 seems to do really well in that respect.]

 

[tmldds]

Paul, love the "Broken" photo!
