Developing a bird photo in Lightroom (Classic, but applies to Cloud just as well) and showing a couple of techniques that I use often in the Develop module, and of course not just for bird photos! :)
Sunday we went for a late afternoon walk at the beach, hoping to make a few photos of birds in flight for my photo club’s monthly “Photo Quest”. Since I’m running this photo quest and came up with the theme, I’d better get a photo for it!
During our stay in Shoshone for our 2nd Death Valley Trip, at the end of February, we took a walk at the Amargosa River wetlands area. Now one has to consider the general desert environment to set the right expectations and not jump to immediate conclusions when thinking of “wetlands” here. :) If I’d apply my old German standards for the word “river” and “wetland”, this body of water would barely qualify as a small creek! :)
Intimate landscapes, bushes, flowers and birds in Borrego Palm Canyon, from a relaxed afternoon hike with my photo club, in February 2022.
As a part of our photo club’s monthly meetings, each member gets to show five of their images, after the main presentation. We call it “MemberShare” and for our meeting today I compiled a group of images from foggy mornings that I made pretty close to our house.
The American white pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos, which means “red-billed pelican”) is a winter visitor to Southern California (they breed in interior North America) and I think they’re funny, goofy and weirdly cute birds (perhaps seeing the cute in weirdness is something that comes with age, I don’t know).
