But I needed different photos and I want to practice the things I'm learning in my photography class which is a free little intro course that is teaching me way more than i knew about my camera within the first hour so I may actually pay to keep going. Haven't decided yet. Usually I can be given basics of anything and run with it until i'm amazing at it. If I can't be amazing at something i usually stop.
I'm having too much fun along the way with my photography path though, and i see this being something i enjoy for the rest of my life. I'm not sure what I enjoy more, the journey or the photos. I'm getting better but photos don't capture everything. Especially when I'm also trying to experiment with bigger lenses and settings. At the end of the day I think it's the whole journey that is most important to me.
The double-crested cormorants were not only a surprise to me but in abundance. I've only seen one other and took its photo where it stood on a pole at Sims Park looking more like a decoration than a real bird. A very simple description brought the species right up when i googled it, and apparently they are common around here. I had no idea.
More photos of these beautiful birds will be featured on my website.
I took so many others and those combined with the ones from Sunday will take me some time to upload to my site. I try to reserve Sunday for my love and
I only have Tues and Weds off after that so by the time i get around to updating my site i have 100 photos and need about 3 new categories. I promised myself i would not have so many photos on this website that they became not seen or even worse, unmemorable. I still have so much to learn about photography and of the hundreds of photos i've already taken i know after only 3 classes that they were mediocre at best. AWESOME MEMORIES, but mediocre in the professional photography world. That's one reason i upload some of my photography here, and not often the same photos i share on my site. These are more relaxed, less perfect for my site but perfect to share on my blog. I share even different ones on facebook. I try not to post too many photos on facebook. That's more a friend's and family thing not a way to plug my site. I spend more time on my blog than on fb because most of the things i write are for myself and important to me and i don't need to be concentrating on "likes" as much as i do making friends and connections in the birding and wildlife culture.
