Yes.

I can't claim any great knowledge or proficiency but if you want to discuss it this isn't the place, perhaps in your other owl thread.

OK great! You convinced me I should install PS and start learning it...

About half an hour, would be much less if I knew what I was doing.

K-3/400mm during an interior painting break today. Focal length on Exif is incorrect/user stupidity.

Thanks for all your nice comments on my previous posts, hope you don't get bored to see that wonderful bird, because I don't.

SO - - We use "BIF" for "birds in flight." Should we introduce "BS" for images such as you've posted?

It's not my term but it's a useful one - sometimes you're on the ground and the bird is way up there and there's not much you can do about it. I thought I first saw the expression in "Secrets of Digital Bird Photography" but I failed to find it in a quick scan.

Anyway, here's another one, from the same location as the Peregrine:

Eastern Meadowlark
