Past joking that his vulture bait got stolen, not care
He was a bit disappointed that he hadn't gotten many good pics of it tho. He does have one of one of the bird on the deer the day it had been killed, and I have one of a turkey vulture waiting on the chimney cap

the turkey vultures line up on the fences around where I work in the morning with their wings open to dry them, or maybe to get warm...not too sure

Do you like taking pictures? Are you a bird watcher? I saw some very bright yellow and black winged birds that someone told me were oreole's and some smaller yellow ones that could have been warblers

And around here it's hard to get them to show up for anything, even though they sit and watch.

Although I blame the crows. They run everything but a hawk off.

Dad's a photographer
I don't mind taking pics, but it's not exactly what I want to do

Crows scare away the pretty birds I like to look at and eat up any food I put out, well, except for the hummingbird feeders.

Kit: I like taking pictures but am not that great at it - don't know if it is me and my composition or the camera. My brothers take some amazing photos, they should be on magazine covers or in travel books - hmm come to think of it I don't know why they don''t submit them.But they have sometimes taken photos for friends at weddings or events.It makes a nice gift.

It's less the equipment and more you
Everyone gets lucky shots
Some of it is instinct, some of it practice. Some can learn it, others won't learn it
Like one TSO pic I have that people love, looks amazing
Took it on my phone. Couldn't have done any better on a SLR or such

[Lemon Cheesecake]

yeah, I have noticed some of the phone cameras people have take very sharp photos.

[galled]

Agreed. I've found that although photography etc., is art, understanding design is the key to being consistent. Yes, people can get lucky (with digital medium with virtually unlimited shots due to the low cost), but I've found that instincts are hit or miss and more often than not attributable to subconsciously mimicking other works they've been exposed to.

In my opinion, the hardware is a tool and it's what you do with that piece of equipment be it a camera or a pencil is a differentiator, when you start to look at the purpose/goal/meaning behind a work, it separates the artists from the random hacks.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Phone cameras are pretty good now

Not everyone has the same luck with it, so what one finds effortless another is clueless. I'm clueless about makeup, it might as well be a foreign language, but there are people out there who speak it easily

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I don't wear much make up and have never figured out the concealer stuff - it feels so heavy and makes my face feel weird so that the little I try on doesn't make any difference. Some people have it on so that they look glamorous but it doesn't look thick or caked. Maybe I just don't buy expensive enough concealer?

[Kitalpha Hart]

Water it down? Idk

THUNDERSTOOOOOORM

[Ryvvi]

thunderstorms are awesome :O they make everything so exciting
and lemon how do you apply the foundation? i find it easier to put it on lightly with a brush rather than a sponge

[Lemon Cheesecake]

do you use dry or creme foundation? Is that the secret?

[Silverfire]

My computer works again

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Yeeeaaahhhhh!!!
