This is another photographic portrait that I’ll be using as reference to paint on canvas. Nearly every photo I take is destined for canvas though, if only there were more hours in a day!
Leanne, do you live near a wildlife park, or zoo? I love how up close and personal these pictures are. I was at a park yesterday evening, trying to get some of the birds to hold STILL so I could get them in focus. No sooner did I get them in the viewfinder than they’d fly off. Out of 130 picts, I kept 17. Not even sure they’re blogworthy! Shutter speed is definitely a skill I need to learn to master!
This guy is in rehab at our local zoo. He’s blind in the other eye, but you’d never know it.
The camera lets me get really close – 12x optical zoom. It also has an image stabilizer which is great for out in the wild, jittery hands and all. When I’m at the zoo, I can usually rest my camera on something stable.

Hey there girl… love your photographs. You’ve got quite an eye and a good camera. Is there anything you can’t do? I doubt it.
Thx for giving me a yoller on my blog. My life has been so boring there just hasn’t been anything to talk about.
Wow, was this at the zoo or in the wild??? I’ve only seen one Bald Eagle in the wild up close–but not that close 😉
Very majestic!!
