A hike with my Father.

Here are a few shots I took this afternoon.

Feeding the birds. Their little claws feel strange on your hand.

Here are some harbour seals sun bathing on a rock. As soon as we got near them they all woke up and jumped into the water.

Nope, they are the heads of survivors of a sunken ship.

I was using my fathers olympys camera for these. The pictures them selves aren't great, but I hope to learn how to take better pictures soon :)

Shot #1 with the bird looks pretty nice to me.

Thats neat that you can do get a bird to trust you that much.

[RJSorensen]

Can you teach me to hold birds on my hand . . . that is way cool.

[Mills]

Cool. That first one especially. What is the saying, a bird in hand is worth two in the bush?

[Crazy Horse]

Thanks a lot guys :)

I am going to go back to that spot today because the girlfriend wanted to try to hold one. I will try to get a better picture this time.

that bird is so precious ! I took a look at that photo adjusted the levels and then I could see his eye clearly defined and his lil claws holding on. If you get a chance to do that you might even like it better !

And where is all your snow ????? I thought it snowed from October till May anything north of Portland Maine !

Hey Lisa! Thanks for the tip!

I don't really know anything about photoshop but I played around with the colours, contrast, and brightness and got this. I think it looks better.

Thanks again.

Nice shots, love the bird one. :D

[Onwuma]

I think i must have my monitor brightness too high becuase that last photo LisaMarie, looks very overexposed.

[LisaMarie]

might be my settings too Onwuma. On my screen the details and color of the bird are crisp and the background is blurred to keep attention on the bird. At first it was very bright on mine too in it's 1st stage but then I darkened it so it was not distracting.
