Thank You but I kind of like the feeder :D

I'm doing well, Thank You.... and how are you?

Doing well. No longer in Myrtle Beach but moved inland near Greenville, SC to be near our granddaughter.

Bluebird

I live in a subdivision that is designated as a Bird Sanctuary. My yard backs up to a small road and we have a tree border with a privacy fence. I try to be creative in my use of non-traditional bird feeders and have a good variety of birds. I usually keep my camera on a tripod pointed at the feeders and use a wired remote on my D7200. I'm using a 150-600mm lens.

Macro shot of the bristles of a toothbrush, reminded me of fiber optics

I shoot both. I have a Nikon D7200 camera with two card slots that allow me to shoot raw and jpeg at the same time. The finest setting for jpeg is 6000x4000 pixels and 24.0 mb files. I have printed a 18x36 canvas print from a jpeg file and it is beautiful. I use the jpeg files to sort though my shots. If I find one that I feel I might want to print in a really large size I will save the raw file. But for the most part, the jpeg files my camera produces wow everyone. Experiment and find what works best for you. One thing to keep in mind is raw files are very large files, so make sure you have lots of storage space. Look forward to seeing your photos.

A couple of my shell photos..... DB = LCB Images

a few photos of the horseback riders at Myrtle Beach State Park

The weather was intriguing over the Christmas Holiday...Cherry Grove beach was fogged in so bad you could barely see the water... but a foggy day at the beach is better than no day at the beach. Myrtle Beach State Park is a great place to visit.....they also allow horseback riding on the beach late November through the end of February. I am fortunate that I live in North Myrtle Beach and can go down to the beach anytime....Great shots......
