As to photography absence of light was so limiting in print photography. The eye always saw more than what the camera could capture. This is no longer true with digital photography and we probably lost something in the process. Some of the mystery has gone out of it. Now we have to use special filters to recreate that effect. Lovely shots of the waxwings, the white-breasted nuthatch and the eagle.Hilke Brederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357741278362930033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-64049020823098839522011-12-14T06:22:54.741-05:002011-12-14T06:22:54.741-05:00Lovely post, as usually!

One of my favourite bird shots was of a Rainbow Pitta, taken in a tiny pool of light in the darkness of a swamp. As far as being a "field guide shot" it’s a waste of time - but I think it touches on what you are saying - it’s not always about clarity and depth of field. Sometimes things are dark and uncertain, and I like pictures that show that.<br /><br />I took the Pitta shot on slides (which dates me) - so I may have to dig it and the slide scanner out and see what happens.<br /><br />Cheers - Stewart M - AustraliaStewart Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04622420206244603688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-46403046471304217512011-12-14T03:55:51.805-05:002011-12-14T03:55:51.805-05:00I love all your shots.

Then those beautiful Waxwings; eating berries would have to be a prize. What a buzz opening that when opening your pics from your camera! You're right thinking about the various light conditions perhaps being considered a mood setting; I'm sure us bird-lovers can appreciate that. For those of you hindered by months of often sunless skies ...we can all be reminded of the weather conditions at the time. It's just another of nature's bounties afterall? Gosh you don't need to step far from home base for some of your best photo opportnities.
