I tried not to do that. That was partly why I shut off my flash, every time it fired, people would look at me. I didn't want to be a distraction, but I totally should have had it back on for those bright sun shots! <br /><br />Ah well, it all turned out ok, the bride and groom got over 500 usable images from me alone, and there were TWO other photographers there. Wedding photography is fun, but I don't think I'd want to do it full time. Maybe as an assistant, where the stress level isn't as high.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8857497244999698317.post-569900636608634012009-09-11T11:47:48.703-04:002009-09-11T11:47:48.703-04:00Wow, those are some magnificent birds!

We have some of the same birds at our house -- the yellow breasted one, the dusky blue ones I think are the same, and the beige & turquoise one. <br /><br />I'd love to know what you put out for the parrots -- just the bird seed? We have noticed some, but they don't eat the fruit we put for the other birds. Ours love papaya & banana, and also we have hummingbird feeders, which attract the small yellow-breasted (I think a young one as he's much smaller than the others), hummingbirds, and bats at night. So fun! <br /><br />I'm a Houston girl living near Campinas, SP, Brasil.

We have 6 bird feeders which we fill late at night about every 5 days. (In the winter, there are fewer birds, so sometimes we don't have to refill them for several weeks.) In summer, it takes them one morning to empty their favorite feeder and another day or two to empty the largest one. We give them a few days to clean up what they dropped on the ground, then fill them again. Whoever thinks "eats like a bird" means eats very little, is mistaken. Our birds eat like horses. We spend several thousand dollars on bird food each year. But the pleasure we get watching them is worth it to us. I m a night owl, rarely going to bed until 7 or 8 am. Before I head upstairs, I like to stand at the kitchen window and watch the birds, and then again in the afternoon when I get up, I watch while eating breakfast.Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07712925834229282680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8857497244999698317.post-44846501169601784832009-09-07T18:40:04.389-04:002009-09-07T18:40:04.389-04:00Ginger, it is always such a delight to read what y...Ginger, it is always such a delight to read what you write.
