Robins - Photoblog

The backyard had a visit from two baby robins..

The older robins were watching from the roof line while the babies were getting the worms, just after the water sprinkler had finished.

Guess they are not old enough to understand the danger of letting humans come close.

Was very close to them and they were so busy with the worms that they didn't even notice me...

The backyard sure provides a lot of amusement for a few minutes every evening to take my mind off work and bring me back to house, kids, quiet, calm..

A big thanks to the baby robins and my babies who spotted them!

Portraits....

Love taking shots with the sigma lens at 18mm, with ISO set all the way to 1600 (all the way the 400D will go) and setting the white balance to cloudy. Gives a candle light feel to the shots taken indoors with diffuse lighting.

An hour at the local Park - Photoblog

Not to mention another half hour with Photoscape playing with some ideas on presenting photos.

Did not know that you could use a spline fit to control the luminance to adjust relative grays to different brightness!

Also caught up on much needed sleep today. An 4 hour afternoon nap?!, if it could be called a nap. Hopefully the energy balance has been restored to keep moving forward for another week.
