okay well that didn't work
i give up ignore this post
it's worked every other time
think there is something wrong with the resizing i'm having the same trouble as smeedingo2 on a previous post - even medium resizing is coming out way too big
resized them myself to less than 640x480 so lets see if this works
nectar chin
so i guess photobucket isn't resizing properly atm
Hi Myky there was a fault on Photobucket all ok now.
A good set there Myky but let down with PP it looks like you have taken the shots through a Misty lens or a foggy morning hope you don't mind re-worked the wren only took 1 minute.
the first one is your's
The second one I worked.
A Photo is only as good as the eyes that look at it.
hi bygum
well you were sorta right - wren through a dirty window and brown honeyeater through a flyscreen at a weird angle :)
i take what i can get
thanks for the rework :)
HI Myky
Very good it takes the shine of me nice photos love the hawk I only see them as they fly past at untold speed good shot.
Oh wow... I was wondering what bird it was with the orange chin... now I see what you mean!!
Had to laugh Bygum, flyscreen and a dirty window!! Thats a new take on filtering for you . Just out of interest are you using photo shop?
BTW Myky, I shot a Leeuwins and a female golden whistler today from my desk using the same filtering system! LOL
Didn't post them as they were a bit obscure anyway. I was glad to have increased my tally from my desk all the same.
So far I have seen catbirds, noisy miners, whitebrowed scrub wren, black cockatoos, lorikeets, a python,leeuwins HE,pale headed rosellas Golden whistler, currawong, whipbird.... all without leaving my desk !! I call myself exceptionally fortunate to be able to do that :)

it's okay smeedingo2 it was't you :) happy to help :P
the only way i can get close to them is through windows "Filters"
99% of my honeyeaters and wrens are through windows (which maybe i should clean :P ) i just get so excited to get that close

Yes Birdie I do use Photoshop I have tried them all but always come back to this one.
A Photo is only as good as the eyes that look at it.
Myky, like me yes you should clean them, as sometimes it is the only way!! Can't tell you how many times I have snuck out the back door, crept round the side of the house, camera in hand and "poof" like a puff of smoke there's nothing there!
Bygum, I don't have Photoshop and can't afford it, but would like to learn it. Just have to make do with the ones I have I guess for now.

Has anyone else had the problem that when you post it says no connection and then you find it has done it twice? I think it is more to do with our wireless system at home. This time I didn't even hit the try again button, I just refreshed my page and there it was ..twice.
Sorry for the repetition

I don't know, sometimes I will click post and it will double post and stuff. Birdie, couldn't you just download Photoshop? Love the sparrowhawk phoo, he looks slightly alarmed :)
I wish Amateur... I think the cheapest version is about $300 but the serious ones are upwards of $600.
There are other limited packages that I can use and that I have. I don't get into too much digital reworking as I like the photos to stay fairly natural. In truth I know very little about the possibilities with PS, and I just don't have the time or the brainpower at the moment to fit any more learning in!

Hi myky50 - thanks for sharing - I liked seeing the sparrowhawk - I haven't seen anything like that here. Thanks for your support the other day - I really appreciate it
Nice shots Myky, Gotta get em when you can!
your welcome Birdgirl2009 any time :)
yes you do Cath & Shane
oh wow, love the shots, especially the sparrowhawk-never seen let alone captured a good shot like that. I reckon you have to be quick even through windows, from my desk yesterday an eastern spinebill visited the birdbath, by the time I reached over to get my camera, vamoosh!! clean windows birdie? ...know a good windowcleaner? :)
Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best
p.s I actually prefer the 1st shot of the superb fairy wren, the second looks 'overworked' and a little cardboard cut-out for my liking, just my humble personal opinion.
p.p.s.what is PP?
