Today's Photos

A strangely busy day today with good sales of prams and books-- generally all at the same time. :worried:

Alex wanted to dress up in the clown clothes. He said he was a scarecrow. Pheebs was very disdainful- as cats usually are.





On my walk I tried to take some photos of birds, including a flock of galahs in flight (very difficult to get right, I'm finding), some indistinguishable birds in a tree, a swan and a peewee.

  2. Thanks Lois! I find the bird shots a bit difficult because they are mostly at a fairly long distance, near maximum zoom and then the arms start to shake- especially the overhead shots. I would love to be able to take more action shots but by the time I point the camera, find the bird in the sky, get it focused etc, the bird's flown too far away! At least with a flock of birds you can count on at least some of them being in the right place at the right time.They say practice makes perfect :)

  3. That's exactly the problem I have, by the time you're ready, the bird is gone. I guess we need to practice focusing more quickly. That's my next goal!
