Although the majority of my photos now are cell phone pictures, I still use "real" cameras at times. I keep the Nikon next to my back door for bird photos, simply because it has a good zoom lens.
It also has a memory card (SD card). For a long time, I always used the laptop to process pictures from these cards. After all, it has a slot and the software to make transferring easy. But I finally gave up on using the laptop, at least for now. Peculiarities of my vision make it painful to look at that screen. For some reason, I can still look at the iPad screen, although I often wind up closing my left eye, which has not recovered from cataract surgery, even after 11 months. (I’m going back to the retina specialist next week, but I don’t expect he can do much more.)
Here we see a nuthatch. They don’t mind perching upside down.
I also selected a picture of a dark-eyed junco to show today.
The final picture shows blossoms on my neighbor’s magnolia tree. This was before the temperatures dropped below freezing and these blooms turned brown.
So beautiful birds, Flowers looks beautiful
ReplyDeleteA classic nuthatch pose.
ReplyDeleteI totally get that—there’s just something about the quality and depth of camera photos that stands out, even with the convenience of phones. I'm sorry to hear about the ongoing vision issues; I hope your visit to the specialist brings some helpful answers.
ReplyDelete...magnolias are gorgeous, but they are able to flower too early and get frozen.
ReplyDeleteLove the cute bird photos and the magnolia blooms are lovely. I hope the eye doctor will be able to help you. Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteYou made me think I should get the Nikon out again, though I haven't used it in a while. Just to put fresh batteries in, then see if I can link the card onto the laptop. I sure know how closing one eye feels, as I recently went through that sense of one not focusing right. I got an appointment with optometrist, but not till July! Hope you get help on your eyes.
ReplyDeleteI was sorry to read about your ongoing vision issues and hope your visit to the specialist will be helpful.
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy the very nice photographs you shared here, especially the beautiful magnolia.
All the best Jan
