Photography keeps me going!

I am 92 years old, in hospice care for terminal cancer and I still enjoy life. I can still sit on my front and back porches and shoot pictures of whatever wild life comes around. My hands are still as steady as they were 50 years ago...good because I have no tripod. I have only the beginners pp program that came with my camera so I only shoot jpegs and sometimes touch them up a little bit and do a lot of cropping. I want to show you a few bird shots I took last evening just before sunset. The light kept changing so I used manual with auto ISO....something I learned from you hedgehogs. You will have to excuse the bird poop on the wall ( some one is bound to mention it) because I have no tool to get rid of it. My daughter washes it off about once a week...probably tomorrow. So here goes! (Sony RX10IV)

Never too old to enjoy natures treasures. I just hope that if I around in another ten years, that I will have your attitude and can still enjoy life the upmost. Keep on keeping on till it is time to go home.

ditchdigger 92? Me, I am a young guy only 82 and photography is one of my "brain still working" things. You are doing well with your photography.... bird poop and all. I think your Sony RX10IV will do 4K video and so you can select a frame from the MP4 video and convert to a still JPEG or TIF. See: https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-554637-1.html
Great shots of your bird family
