My first photo submission to UHH so please be kind. I took this image at a very small wildlife preserve on Long Island which has a pair of nesting eagles. Out of the corner of my eye I saw this GBH fly and I followed it. Using my brand new Olympus OM-1 and 150-400mm lens, I was able to capture this beauty. Very little processing except to clean up the branches and the usual LR adjustments--I thought the images obtained with this new camera were pretty good so far. Much of the noise issues associated with previous models has been addressed and the AI is very good. I will show some eagle photos soon.
CC welcome.

Great shots, love the desert. Tightest switch back I ever did was here in North Idaho on Montana line. I had to back up once to make it around and it was still tight and steep. I was driving a Suzuki Samurai.

Just because post-processing software enables you to turn a sunrise green, vomit pastel, and breasts blue doesn't mean you SHOULD. The aphorism "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" belongs in the same garbage bin as "the customer is always right." Sheesh!

While not a popular view on UHH, I find all of these oversaturated sunsets, overprocessed house pets, and all of the rest of those entirely unnatural "views" of nature aesthetically offensive. I know I'll get flamed for this but just can't help myself. I prefer the colors and contours of nature to the fakery of over-processed imagery.

I have a gallery on WIX. I thought it would be just the ticket, but I find it just to expensive and to complicated for what I wanted.

I had a Zenfolio gallery at one time, but when they went "WOKE" I canceled it. Maybe I cut off my nose ......
However, the main thing I didn't like about Zenfolio was that to access the gallery there name came first. Otherwise, it was straight forward and support was good.

My purpose for the gallery is to have my photos available for family and friends and a place to send customers.

I have them already in PSE albums and plan on transferring them a folder at a time.

What have your experiences been?

Dear NJFrank...

I think your comments are right on the money. The single mother had the little guy to constantly watch her only respond to her commands and ignore everyone else. After raising a hand to get his attention and him ignoring me out of his peripheral vision, I immediately realized that my waiting until the boy turned to look at me would result in his mother taking his picture and them walking off without him ever looking at me.

Since I wanted to capture that smile with my camera even without their cooperation, I knew I had to go ahead and take a picture with him looking away from me at his mom. You are correct in that I should have cropped out the leg on the left and I did want to include the team logo, but not have Chico image overshadow the little boy and become the subject of my picture. Thank you for your excellent observations. Shooter41

Spent 2 1/2 hours late afternoon today at the Owl site/nest. For the first time I saw 2 Owlets - but no decent Image - yet 8-( .... I did see the Owlets stretching/flapping their wings so it will not be long before they branch and fledge !....I did manage to get the male at the nest with one of the Owlets ! 8-) ...

Again, this is with the Sony A99 and Tammy 150-600 G2 set @ 500mm, f6.3, ISO 1600 with 1.6X CIZ and 3 exposure HDR - the mean shutter speed was 1/250 from tripod - so I was pushing the envelope. It was quite WINDY and very LATE in the day today and the image does show some ghost imaging because of this - and there was also some subject movement. So, as a purely photographic image it has some "problems" - but, IMO, as a GRAPHIC representation and the subject matter - it presents well. In hindsight, I should have cranked the ISO to 3200 and gained some shutter speed .....and let the noise fall where it may. I am thinking about noise software as I do not use any now. The Sony A99 was released in 2013 so it is not state of the art regarding noise 8-(

Thanks to ALL for stopping by and to comment ! .....Larry
