Sunday, February 15, 2015 marks the first death anniversary of mother. This also marks the break of my photography fast. I commit to craft photos more than once week here on end.


Guaiabero (Bolbopsittacus lunulatus) by alabang, on Flickr

The Guaiabero (Bolbopsittacus lunulatus) is a species of parrot in the Psittaculidae family, belonging to the monotypic genus Bolbopsittacus and closely related to the lovebirds (Agapornis) and hanging parrots (Loriculus). It is endemic to the Philippines. Its common name is derived from its reputation for eating guavas.

Very nice shot Paolo. I really like the green bird in that green environment.

Chinese Goose... For some reason it looks like crap unless you click on it. Can anyone tell me why? Every photo I post is like that. Anyway... click it to see it. Thanks! Shot with my Canon 70D, Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 + EX 2.0 III and a B+W 77mm Kaesemann XS-Pro Circular Polarizer MRC Nano Filter. I just wish I could find some women to photograph, but I am so hideous I'd need a Canon 800mm lens and a EX 2.0 iii just to get close enough.

I had the same issue. I changed to sRGB and then it worked.

At the risk of sounding stupid, where would I change that? Thanks a bunch!

Good question. Cause you can change it in your camera, you can change it in your PP software program, you can change it as setting in your Monitor....
I guess it is the PP software.. :-\


I like your Goose!

My monitor is sRGB, camera, pp software... it just looks weird until I click on the image. Then it is fine. Thanks! The goose seems to be as exotic as it gets around here lately. I live in the middle of the desert in Nevada. Thanks Candyman!

This may be a stretch for the topic, but whatever. Barn owl: final scream.

Hi bwud.
Cheers pall, not sure I want the rest of my breakfast now! Good title though!

Cheers, Graham.

Hey there dpc. Nice shot btw.
Would you ever consider cpl filter on your lens ? like to tame that water, and lift the colours of that shot. ?

Thanks for the compliment and the suggestion. I do use polarisers but not on this shot. I'm travelling and don't have one with me that will fit the lens nor do I have an adapter for the larger CPL I do have with me. Didn't want to take too much stuff on the plane. Should have brought the adapter but, hey, sometimes a person errs.

Golden Eagle series... This big fellow lives in a remote area near the Idaho-Montana border. I travel through his territory somewhat regularly and have seen him once a year the past 3 years. These shots were captured yesterday as he was perched high above the road with fast moving clouds in the background.

Very nice series. I especially like the last picture. Well done James.
