Birders who photolist?

[tgrey]

I've gotten back into photography by way of my birding hobby -- it so naturally suggests getting pictures of the birds you see, to assist in and confirm identification if for nothing else. So I got into digiscoping more than a year ago, and now have moved up by getting a Canon Digital Rebel. For now, trying to get good pictures of even familiar birds has pretty much supplanted running around trying to see new birds. I have a "photolist" of 147 species, combining digiscopes with recent photos -- http://www.geocities.com/tgrey41/index.html -- and now here I'm just posting the better ones of the Rebel photos. Will photolisting turn into real photography? Who knows.. I'm getting hooked on learning the tricks of Photoshop Elements, which may be a bad sign Tom

It's all over for you now....I have not left my ps desk for the last few years. I took a look around your site and it is pretty darn good I think. Certainly bird lovers near and afar enjoy your time consuming efforts. I am sure the camera and software will work some new magic for you and you will not be dissapointed. I am working on the foundation of a similarly styled site on African Cichlids. I sure can apprecciate your work on this stuff.

Good luck.

I am just the opposite, Tom, I have gotten into birding because of my photography hobby. I am not very diverse and organized though, maybe someday. I enjoyed your sites very much.
