To make it easier to find the fantastic threads full of beautiful photo's. (I'm still not very good and remembering which thread was who's in order to find the thread).
I am looking for the clouds & sunsets thread.
I think a thread for beautiful photo mishaps would be good, you know the sort that were a mess from the camera shakes / lighting but beautiful as a piece of art in their own right.
We could dedicate photo's to other members aswell i.e their favourite birds.
Here are some beautiful mishaps I took the other day, I can use them for my textile inspiration sketchbook.
3 Bush Dogs in their enclosure - Dudley Zoo.
I'm sorry if this doesn't ake sense, I thought it was just a request form to request a new forum. But still if anyone else has any beautiful mishaps then feel free to post them here.
The third pic was of a blurry tree with a sunset in the background, not sure why but it's not available to see on my screen.
i have a great idea just take some one with you who can take photo's lol
dear bird mum if you are not very good at photography you should get an online gide/manual
but your idea for a new photography forum is great
p.s i have been to dudely zoo to and I loved the lemurs :)
p.s
Happy birding!
Goldeneagle I am hoping to get a simple to use SLR camera this year (when my post Christmas debt is cleared). If you can recommend one that would be really good.
I think this lemur is Aramis, that's his favourite spot near the keepers shed. He's lovely, has got a white patch on his back foot that you can't see otherwise I might be able to see for sure.
bev kingfisher i have a great idea just take some one with you who can take photo's lol
Lol,
Hi thebirdmum.
What a brilliant idea for a mishaps photography thread. I really like the idea of a photography forum, with threads for specific photo types, e.g. raptors, birds in snow, or even mishaps as you suggested. Of course sadly we live in the age of digital photography, so most of us can no longer enjoy such "delights" as the inside of a coat pocket. ;-) Instead we have thing such as wrong setting being selected or taking a picture when stuck between two camera settings. I've been guilty of that a few times myself. Anyway on with the mishaps.
This is meant to be a blue tit.
The ghosts of house sparrows past.
I'm sure he'd shake his head, if he saw this picture.
Of course just to show that not all my pics are rotten, and to sooth people's eyesight; here's another picture.
Ahh! Breakfast.

Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
I could put most of mine on here.
My best one needs scanning, but it was of the Red Arrows (just out of sight).
This is one taken during the snow, in broad daylight!!!!!!!
Cheers, Linda.
See my photos on Flickr
Thanks Heron77,
I really like your ground feeder, i've just got a small mesh one.
Thats beautiful Sparrow, wlking in the air comes to mind.
Looking Xmas-y there Sparrow.
Not a bad picture at all
Did you not use the Auto Adjust button to lighten the picture
Regards
Kathy and Dave
Hi Blackbird,
I could ask What's an auto-adjust button, but I won't show my ignorance. There is an auto brightness/contrast thing on my software, but this photo was taken when the landscape was brilliant white, in the middle of the day, and shouldn't be dark at all.
Hi Sparrow
If you use or have access to free 'Windows Photo Gallery' software you will be able to change the contrast of your pictures
Not as good as Photoshop and more basic, but ideal the basic changes needed to improve your photos.
The Auto Adjust button is within the same drop down menu as 'Crop' facility. The menu has 'Fix' on the top most layer of the menu so you need to go into the presented drop-down menu shown.
Hope this makes sense or a photo of the 'associated' screen might be useful (by the way I have Vista)
Will do that if you wish?
Thanks Kathy. Is this better? (My software is Photofiltre, a freebie download)
