Here's my bird collection!
All pictures were taken while on vacations in Florida, in the week following my purchase of my new Canon EOS xsi
Did I mention I love my new camera?

1*
I had a little help from my son here when he was running on the beach, scaring the birds to make them fly away

3*
Blue bird in Fort Lauderdale

Hummingbird in Butterfly World (Fort Lauderdale)


5*
That same bird was having fun coming back and forth to the same branch where I had a fun time trying to catch him with my camera!


6* Still in Butterfly World, this was the cutest little guy around

I'm new in this topic about Photography, so forgive me if this is a Noob Question

but this are the original photos taken by the camera or did you work with a program like photoshop on it to get pictures like that ?


Number 6 is my favorit

incessant - I think they haven't been edited with photoshop, Marie would've most likely indicated that in her post. But that my opinion.

I must agree, superb pictures and my favourite would be #6. Nice quality!

I
demand
you
to
send
me
the
first
in
larger
scale
so
I
can
edit

srsly

I'm too poor and too noobish to use photoshop
All I did is add very little contrast and saturation using GIMP.
I also cropped # 4-5-6.

there you go ! hope you like it.

I know I liked it, the scene was perfect for the mood you put into it!

e: great photos btw! But I get the feeling some of them lack a little bit of sharpness (3 & 6)

Wow, wow nice !! :-D

i cant find other words for it than beautiful!



great Result!

First of all, I really like you photos MotherOfTwo. You have really improved your skills! 2 and 4 have great composition and colors.



Not to be rude or grumpy, but why destroy the photos by making cross processing? The method is old and everyone uses it. I think the rich natural colors and the birds are the essential part in the photo, not some fancy color effect.
