Technology Hell As you may have figured by now, we are again experiencing technology hell here at the BIRDS AS ART blog, primarily involving pot notifications. I am able to publish a blog post, but unable to let folks know about a new post. If you are reading this, you wound up here out of […] Post Notification Problems Last spring we had a BIRDS AS ART blog nightmare — the post notification plug-in that had been working for two decades simply quit. Since then, the Word Press “Newsletter” plug-in had been working well for more than 15 months. Unbeknownst to me at first, post notifications were not sent for the […] What’s Up? Today is Thursday 25 September. I drive over to Vero Lake Estates this afternoon to begin a two month teaching residency at Sebastian Inlet State Park. Get in touch via e-mail if you would like to learn about joining me. Whatever you opt to do, I hope that you too choose to have […] L’shana Tova “L’shana tova” (לְשָׁנָה טוֹבָה) is a common Hebrew greeting that means “for a good year,” and it is used to wish someone a Happy New Year during Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year holiday. Rosh Hashanah began last night and is comprised of two full days. Yom Kippur (one day) begins at sundown […] In the Last Blog Post In the last blog post, two folks — as expected, did not like the light-toned halo in Image #3. Here is my response: I noted the halo. I am 99% sure that had I not revealed that the head and been replaced the head, nobody would have had “boo” […] Good Photoshop News Huge thanks to longtime friend Tim Grey. Tim is one of the top educators in digital photography and imaging, offering clear guidance on complex subjects through his writing, speaking, and training. Tim explained that the Denoise AI feature had not been eliminated in ACR 17.5. They simply changed the implementation (but did […] Goodbye Photoshop/ACR DeNoise AI See my comments beneath the screen capture below for the bad news for folks who use Photoshop. In the Last Blog Post In the last blog post, the three folks who picked their best image went with #1, the Willet flapping after its bath. That was my least favorite. My […] Your Call? Which of today’s five featured images do you think is the strongest? Why? Sebastian Inlet Ospreys and More Multiple IPT veteran Eugen Dolan is joining me for a month, arriving on 26 September. Beginning bird photographer Alvin Red Stevens is joining us for a week; he shows up on 12 October. And […] Sebastian Inlet Ospreys and More Multiple IPT veteran Eugen Dolan is joining me for a month, arriving on 26 September. Beginning bird photographer Alvin Red Stevens is joining us for a week; he shows up on 12 October. And when he leaves, new friend Mishael Voisin will be with us for a week of photography […] Sebastian Inlet Ospreys and More Multiple IPT veteran Eugen Dolan is joining me for a month, arriving on 26 September. Beginning bird photographer Alvin Red Stevens is joining us for a week; he shows up on 12 October. And when he leaves, new friend Mishael Voisin will be with us for a week of photography […] Your Call? Which of today’s five wind against sun images do you think is the strongest? Why do you like it? What’s Up? I drove to Ronkonkoma in Suffolk County on Saturday evening to have dinner with my younger daughter Alissa and her family. I ate much too much plov. Plov is a fragrant and […] What’s Up? Thursday and Friday afternoons on the beach at Nickerson were awe-inspiring with thousands of migrant Common Terns and many hundreds of Black Skimmers blasting off every three minutes into the 20+ mph wind that roared in off the Atlantic. It was a wild scene as the flocks flew off, swirled around, and then […] What’s Up? On Tuesday evening I attended the evening session of the 2025 US Open Tennis Tournament. I was supposed to see a Women’s quarterfinal match and a Men’s quarterfinal match in Arthur Ashe Stadium at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, Queens, NY. The Women’s match was a walkover […] Your Call? Have you ever seen a better photograph of a single shorebird than today’s featured image? If yes, which photo by whom? What’s Up? On Labor Day at Nickerson Beach I enjoyed one my best morning sessions ever at one of my favorite locations on the planet. Everything that I did turned out […] In the Last Blog Post Here is my 4-favorites list from the last blog post: 1 & 3 (tied for first), 6, 5. Lot of folks went with 3 and the spectacular splashes and several even liked the scratching blur. Amazing. What’s Up? For the most part, bird photography at Nickerson Beach in the […] Your Call? Here is today’s difficult challenge: list your four favorites with the strongest one first. In Stock! Bedfords has both Sony a-1 ii bodies and 400-800 zoom lenses in stock. I am at a loss as to why so few folks have bought into the 400-800 as it has quickly become my all-time […] In the Last Blog Post In the last blog post I asked folks to rank the four featured images with their favorite image first. Here is my list: 4, 1, 3, 2. Apparently John Storjohann is my long lost twin brother as our preferences were identical. Image #4 really grew on me over the past […] The Sony 400-800 Since the storm surge died down and the sun came out, I have been heading out mornings and afternoons with just the 400-800. It is so, so versatile. With a Delkin Devices 960GB BLACK CFexpress Type A 4.0 Memory Card in my a-1 ii I head out with only a single extra […] Your Call After clicking on each of today’s fourteen featured images (including one by student/friends Steve Shore and Vasili Chernishoff), be so kind as to leave a comment as to what you think are the two strongest images and the two weakest images. From where I sit, the former will be a challenge while the […] Your Call? Which of today’s two featured student images would you wish was yours? Why did you make your choice? Though I love both of them, my choice would be crystal clear. I will share that along with my reasons in the next post. I’ve been saying for years that beginning and intermediate photographers […] |
