Spotted Towhee, Chilliwack BC, Canada

…just showing a favorite recent photograph, as a temporary break from the Software Release Announcements and PlayRaw tradition here.

I’m an amateur whose photographs have improved dramatically because of
geeqie->darktable->gimp.

It’s interesting how many (especially wildlife) photographers there are out there who think of themselves as professional, whose image editing skills are still far from it.

I’m not at a professional level yet either. But open source software is helping me on my way.

Aging Nikon D7000, Tamron 150-600 zoom, with a mono-pod

I think the only thing aging on my D7000 is the shutter, as the count advances. The camera doesn’t wrinkle, age-spot, lose hair (or gain hair in ungainly places), or any of the other age inflictions borne by the mechanism that’s pressing the shutter button… :smile:

Really nice image!

@pittendrigh Would this be better suited for the showcase category? I like it enough for it to be. :slight_smile:

RE> Showcase.

Absolutely. Sorry. I missed it. Showcase is a long scroll down. I should have been more attentive. I changed it. Thank you.
