So I decided to browse you gallery, and voila! A gorgeous shot of a heron
Clear, sharp lines in the foreground and the heron's feathers seem to retain all the color and detail.
I am in envy of your picture-taking skills, since the art of taking pictures is out of my reach. Really, when I submit a large drawing to DA that my scanner can't handle, I have to take pictures of it.
At least 30 to get a single decent one D:

Wow, thanks so much for taking a look. I'm glad you like the shot: it's one of my favorites. I tend to get motion blur when I shoot sans tripod (I just have damn shaky hands) but this one came out so clear! It made my day.
Haha, and to be perfectly fair: there's a massive difference between taking pictures of animals and taking pictures of drawings. Drawings are by far, a million times harder. They reflect light in such strange ways depending on the medium. Graphite tends to shine oddly, colored pencils can look washed out, sketches fade into nothingness...It's way harder.

This was taken without a tripod? (impressed) My hands shake too much when I try to take pictures...
O-O You seem to know all the problems I have when taking pictures of various drawings XD
There's so much work I can't post here because graphite is my favorite medium and I draw much large drawings.

Well, now I can use that excuse for bad pictures!

Hahah. Taking pictures of drawings is an art form in and of itself. I sympathize so much with the graphite issues. Have you tried scanning them in chunks and then photoshopping the scans together?

ehxhfdl14 In reply to Chernzobog [2008-02-06 01:14:50 +0000 UTC]

Haaa... That'd be a lot of work just scanning, seeing as how some are (approx.) 28x19 or even bigger, and my scanner accepts little other than A4 size. <_<;;
I should try sometime, though.

The Green Heron. Lovely bird, I know how skiddish they are so I know how hard it it to get a good shot of them.

I have that same problem sometimes. There is a Tiger Heron. I saw a picture of them and they are beautiful like the rest of the herons.

Chernzobog In reply to Merlinstouch [2007-10-07 19:53:19 +0000 UTC]

^^ Yes. They are--I was actually looking at a picture of a tiger heron when I posted this guy and got my names all mixed up. But herons are indeed beautiful

Continuing Education, for my line of work...you need to keep up by earning CE credits every 2 years = 20. I already got ten from last feb's conference...so I gotta mail these fucking awesome quizzes to see if I get it right and get the CRED I deserve for 'em. xD

As I've said every night; get better soon.

But as to the pic, it's very nice how the camera has focused on the bird, blurring the background as though in a painting. I luff it, and that is one tiny heron.

Welcome ^^
No pelicans around? XD I'm sure the fish can't get away. Love to see if he could annihilate some of the huge fish I saw at the zoo yesterday >> <<.

Yus, sick >< Ironically, I did it to myself. I stressed myself out, and now my stomach's trying to eat itself. (Acid imbalance or something like that--I think it sounds cooler to say my stomach's attempting to self destruct )
