Hello Tanny,

I think your Owl is priceless ...
To take a picture of a Bird is great but to be strolling down a Beautiful Lane
on the Sun we've had Today with your Loved One AND have an Owl Fly and
Land on a post in the Sun ... Then casually lift your Bin's and take picture's
of this Bird you rarely see ( For me anyway ... Never seen One! lol, ) Is
beautiful ... Congratulation's on a Great Picture ... I'd of paid to have
photographed that,
Stick to your Method Tanny ... Lovely way to take snap's of WildLife,
I liked the picture so much i slightly blurred the background and slightly
sharpened the Owl the see a slight contrast between the Two,
I'm keeping this i think for my next Sculpt ... The setting is great,
Thank's,
Tc,
John,

Lucky Owl shot,Tanny,well done.

Thank's so much for the compliments John. It was the rickaty fence that appealed to me, the Owl was just the "icing on the cake" in the picture. I think I might do a painting one day of this setting. Here are some more pictures, hope you are able to use them. Thanks again. Tanny

Hi again. Today I managed to take my best picture of the Long-tail Tits but the buildings in the background spoils the picture. I took it from inside the living room beside the fire.Thankfully the window cleaner had just been and cleaned the glass. All I have done is resize the picture and I am wondering if anyone would be interested in editing it so that I might get an idea on how to edit correctly.

Tanny,I have only done the very basic alterations.I cropped as tight as I dare around the birds,then just upped the pixeks to 500max.Any larger and there would I think have been lots of noise.
i will submit this reply and then return to have a look,it may be a mess!!!

[Christine]

no,Tanny,it isn't very good,but it just enlarges the birds a little.Hopefully someone else may be able to help.

Thanks Christine, a good effort. I havn't seen a picture of Long-tail Tits looking right at the camera like these two are doing. I am hoping for some miracle in turning them into a picture good enough for printing and framing. What do you think John, any advice on how to paint out the building, do you think a darker background would enhance the birds.

Hello Tanny,

First off ... What a great picture ... Have'nt took a Long Tailed Tit picture yet,
I did try with your picture but with not much success ... I will post it if you want but the picture is'nt enough to Work on,
By the way ... What Camera do you use ... I'm very curious to be honest,
Did you crop or downgrade the picture before you uploaded it as the Original
could be better to make clearer,
Hope your DigiBinning is going well, Took a Wren Yesterday ... My first
picture of One,
I've attached it,
Take care,
John,

Thanks for the comments and effort. All I do with the pictures here is to resize them to fit small enough to be entered in an email, roughly 800-600.
I use a Fujifilm Digital camera, FinePix F700 and an older Fujifilm FinePix A405 but this latter camera leaves a smudge mark on the picture so I only use this for micro pictures. To get this cleaned would cost as much as the camera itself. Thats a great picture of a wren, I just cannot get a picture of that bird because it skulks about among the plants most of the time.
Good luck, Tanny
