.......................If go some place looking for a certain thing... also look the other way for something else.....................................

That's a really good tip. I wonder if your friend who said that had ever been to Albuquerque.

I took this looking East

I think our tomato plants have an aphid problem...

We have an orange tree that our son grew from an orange seed. Its a big PITA these days. Its in a big pot and I have to lug it in and out every fall / spring. A few winters ago it had so many Aphids on it that I had to take it outside and hose it off. The trunk was solid brown with them.

Well I tried to challenge myself and take some wide view landscape type of stuff. I got sucked into the details yet again.

Good distraction.

Just playing with some bird photos I took the last few days that had totally boring blown out backgrounds. Kind of what happens when you're spot metering a bird against a bright semi overcast sky. So I added some sky from my background files.

Interesting what you did.

Nice photos. Big birds and little birds.

Was wondering what lens. Here I see:
Panasonic DMC-GX85
OLYMPUS M.75-300mm F4.8-6.7

Interesting. So you completely replaced the background? I'd have never known.

I had that view out the front window of our house for the couple years that we lived there a long, LONG time ago.

Those are the Sandia Mountains. If I remember correctly "Sandia" in the local dialect is "watermelon". With the green trees along the river, then the white-ish plains in the foothills and the red mountain, it looks like a giant slice of watermelon.

That's correct. My previous M4/3 camera was an Olympus until it died and their lens are pretty much totally interchangeable. Love the Panasonic way more.

Yah....that GX85 is pretty sweet. Makes me wonder what a G9 would be like...(STOP!)

Anyway, nice! Birds are hard....very hard. At least for me.

Yup. Photoshop has some interesting tools for streamlining workflow and I've been making a point when I'm out to shoot what might make good backgrounds.

Glen, pretty much all the development software out there can do sky replacements. Very handy thing, but takes a little practice.
Do a YouTube search on "Sky Replacement" and see how many hits you get.
