Lightroom every time for me. Folder for each year, a folder for each month within the year, and then keyword every image. I do a lot of bird photography, so would key word every bird photo under birds. So say I have a photo of Chaffinch I would keyword it as follows:- Birds, Garden bird, Finch, Chaffinch. That way in a click of a button I can find every chaffinch I have ever taken. I have I would guess about 400-500 keywords that I use, and although time consuming at first, it is a relatively straight forward excercise once you are up to date. hope that helps.
I use webs.com. The entry level which is free is fine to get started. I have upgraded to the Pro version so as to be able to sell my work. You can view it at

Having bought a Sun Sniper strap I have never looked back. As a bird photographer with binoculars around my neck, this combo ensures my camera is always ready for action, which usually carries a Canon 400mm lens. The weight is forgotten when connected to the strap.
I sold my 150-500 for a canon 400f5.6 and have never looked back. Much higher keeper rate.
I have the Sigma 150mm f2.8......lovely lens, and great working distance
Me too. I have a 7d and BBF using my left eye....never had a problem
My keeper rate is much higher since switching to BBF!

Beautifully shot and use of negative space. I would crop a wee bit off the top and some off the right, and it would be perfection!
Thanks.....perfection is always the goal, yet never attained!
Thank you everyone for your kind comments. So pleased you liked it.
A couple of Greenshanks who seemed to be waltzing around in the water, in early evening light.

On a dreary day I was looking at this shot and thinking, this has to be one of the most ably qualified "Little Brown Jobs", affectionately known as LBJ's. Every garden has one or two, and yet captured in the right light, also qualifies as a bird of subtle beauty, and grace. The Dunnock.

Its not often that I look at an HDR and find myself smiling and having nothing much to say in terms of improvement, but this is one of those times. You have really used the morning light to its fullest, the picture just glows. Well done, the climb was absolutely worth it. I am really looking forward to seeing more of your work.
