Great Pictures Carolina Wing. I love them all. Your off to a great start with your new camera. Have fun with it. We had a pair of Blue Bird build a nest about 20 yards from our house. I posted pictures in the thread "Blue Bird Surprise" on 4/11. Anyway I have not seem the female for about 2 weeks now. I think she may have been taken out because the male just hangs around flying at the window most of the day. I checked the nest and it has eggs, but no sign of the female. Sad!!!
For the Woodpecker lovers, I shot this from my office window about 2 years ago with my Sony DSC-10. Rate shot to get the pair in the same picture. This shot gave me the incentive to get a D7000 and a 18-300mm lens. I hope I get another photo op for this pair.
I'm taking my D7000 with Nikkor 18-300mm 3.5-5.6G on a trip to France, Germany, Swiss Alps and Northern Italy this coming June. Majority of the transportation in Europe will be train, so I got a circular polarizer filter and rubber lens hood.
Today this male Blue Bird put on a show just 5 feet from my kitchen window. Never had them come this close to the house. He seem to have some kind of issue. Here are just a couple of the photos with minor cropping. I shoot them in RAW and used PS Elements 11 default to process them. Suggestion?
Great pictures Carolina! I love the one with both male and female. We enjoy a pair each spring who check out the house, but they do not stay around. Area is not open enough.
This is my first posting. I am learning how to use my Nikon D7000 with Nikkor 18-300mm lens. So much to learn. Let me know how I can improve. BTW, these pictures were taken through a window.
