It's true that when we read a piece of text we are so familiar with the words that we can understand what's written if the first and last letters are correct. However, that definitely does not mean that correct spelling doesn't matter. I'm a writer and sloppy spelling drives me nuts!

Northern Cardinal - female (Cardinalis cardinalis)
W. Kentucky, USA - 7/18/2018
1/320 sec - f/8.0 - ISO 400
The flashy male gets all the attention, but make no mistake,
the female has her own beauty as well!

I've heard both recommendations: over expose and under expose. I decided to compromise and expose correctly.

The first thing you do is get their parents out of the room (or wherever you are). Parents have a tendency to interfere by ordering their kids around. You get chaos. You be the only "boss" and the kids are more likely to listen.

That's funny. I'd forgotten that the Maori do that.

I've discovered that you have to photograph them when they don't know you're doing it.

They do behave like monkeys, that's for sure.
