Some of you may have noticed that I have not been keeping up with the daily posts for the A-Z challenge. It's time to reveal the reason: I lost my sister-in-law nearly two-weeks ago. In Memoriam of Janette Gaboury I managed to make some posts afterwards, but supporting my grieving brother and family take priority, as well it should. I will try to make some more entries, but I am not at home very often right now and between work and running out to my brother's place, I don't know how much time I will have. Thank you all for understanding. Jeff Gaboury

A-Z Challenge 2025 O is for Oriole I was very excited to get this shot. Capturing the bird at a perfect moment, just before it lands, through all of the branches and foliage, this shot was extremely challenging. Of course, many photographers would complain about all of the distracting branches and some of them would point out the powerful new AI tools that could remove the branches in front of the bird. But I'm on the fence about such technologies. This photo's imperfections are a part of what makes it "perfect" for me. The beauty of the bird and the moment, captured under difficult auto-focusing conditions is part of what makes this image so very special to me. I have other, clear photos of Baltimore orioles that where the bird is unobstructed and clear and there were fewer challenges for me, or for the camera. But this one still stands as my favouriite oriole photo and I'm not sure it will ever be surpassed.
I love this picture. I find it amazing that you were able to get this on camera
ReplyDeleteThank you Birgit. Discovering how to take this sort of photo remains one of my favourite things about photography.
