A photo taken at sunset last night ISO 25,600. An amazing feat of technology & all that, because once most of us mere mortals couldn't photograph a hummingbird in any detail in so dark an environment but... think i need to learn about noise reduction. I have it included in Affinity Photo 2 but don't know how to use it other than the defaults... Hints, tips, etc welcomed #Photography #NoiseReduction #BirdPhotography #BirdPhotograph #Bird #Birds #Hummingbirds #Hummingbird #PhotoADay

she's finally done with all the little ones and has some time to sit in the sun #bird #birds #birding #BirdPhotography

"no, you may not touch the fluff!"-- House Sparrow her feathers may be gray and skimpy but she's got a wicked gleam in her eye... #bird #birds #birding #BirdPhotography #PhotoADay #Project365 #WildlifeWednesday

i'm... not going to say i suspect a hole in the fence but i just looked out the window and there was a big fat brown rabbit in my yard not somebody's escaped pet rabbit a wild rabbit #WildlifeWednesday

sigh... last night the sun had already set & then i got at least 2 Hummingbird Moths... they were so close to me but i didn't have my camera because... the sun had already set... we still have actual hummingbirds this morning but don't know about the moths... #butterfly #moth

As always, these two are so adorable. Grabbed a quick shot just now of Boobear the 28 year old Cockatiel grooming the head of a blissed-out Nyota the lovebird. For those who do not know, Nyota is a survivor of 2012's Hurricane Isaac when she was found mixing it up with a Mockingbird in Biloxi's Back Bay-- and came off second best in the battle. She has no idea of her true size... #bird #birds #pet #pets #PetBirds #RescueBirds #AnimalRescue #cute #lovebird #cockatiel #lovebirds #Cockatiels

Plenty of hummingbirds hanging around the trees & feeders but it's too dark, gloomy, & rainy to photograph them so... you get this #Bloomscrolling #Flower #PhotoADay #PhotographyChallenge #Project365
