Hi. I have been here a while now and have posted a couple of messages and a few photos in an a;bum. Thought I should make it official now and say Hello to you all. I'm a long way west of Gaye from Osoyoos, Vancouver Island, Victoria and Butchart Gardens for those that have been over here.

Hi Kildale,

Welcome to Birdforum :t:

I guess you need no introduction to the site as you seem to be finding your way around pretty well. I have certainly enjoyed viewing your photos in the Gallery and I hope that you continue posting them.

I hope that you are enjoying the site and I look forward to reading your postings.

Happy Christmas !

Hi Derrick,
Great to see you here, as I said about Gaye....the BF members are in for a real treat when they see your shots.
Just love your Bushtit shots, I hadn't seen that photo of the pair before.
Best regards and a merry Xmas,
Andy B

Derrick,

Those bushtit photos are remarkable. Welcome to BirdForum, we're glad you're here!

 

[Kildale]

Hi Ian. Thank you for the welcome. As you said I have been trying to do a few things here. I'm no computer whiz though.

Hi Marysan. Thank you for the welcome. Pleased that you liked the bushtit picture.

Hi Andy. Gaye invited me to join, really looks like a great site. Still admire your photos when I link into various sites.

Hello and welcome Kildale, or Derrick. I will have to take a look at those photos of yours.

Hi Brian. Thank you for the welcome, don't beleive all Gaye says about me. I'm just average. I have been busy over the last three days changing the images in my web site. Although they were all JPG, Microsoft changed them to GIF. I purchased another programme and have re-done the images to JPG. Please have a look http://members.shaw.ca/summar4

Brian what Gaye says is a rule... Derrick is being too modest!

 

[bcurrie]

Derrick, I guess it depends on what you call average. I call myself average, too (not trying to insult you). However, at the very least, you are quite above average on composition (and other catergories as well). What camera and lens are you using? Also, is there a way to view the photos larger? I just took a quick peek, but did not see a way other than how they are viewed when the window opens. I always like seeing a larger photo because too many things can hide in a smaller one.

Hi Brian. I'm new here and don't know as you can make the photos larger. I use Pentax 35m cameras with mainly an 80 to 320 zoom. for wildflowers I have a 90mm macro, and shoot slides. For posting pics I have to scan them, they look pretty decent, but I'm sure they must lose something. As its not critical for forums etc. I don't worry to much about it.
