Description Challenges

We are always overcoming them right? We learn from them and they make us stronger.

I know it seems a rather bland behavior, but stick with me on this one:
-Kalia was not entirely focused during this particular interaction and this was one of the only behaviors she actually did.
-My regular camera crumped on me, again. I took this photo with my old point & shoot.
-My computer crumped on me, for the first time. I edited this on a friend's computer.


This not a complaint, just a mini-rant. All things work out in the end. Enjoy!

Kalia & Kasatka @ SWC

Way to overcome! Lovely photo. Colors are rich and the image is sharp. Still hope you get to go back to your first string "gear" soon

Thank you so much! It's been interesting playing around with the old G5 and although my yield isn't quite as high, I'm finding the overall quality of individual images is decent. Your encouragement means a lot!

The colors and the water are lovely! I am just in love with this picture and it is always amazing to see how the calves learn from their mothers! The behavior is quite clasic but you make a lot of pictures and moments very special

You're welcome!
Yeah for me it is the classic behavior for an orca at SeaWorld to introduce itself

Really lovely shot. The colors are amazing.. I can't believe it came from a point-and-shoot!
Nice job

joyousorca In reply to Lotus072 [2007-11-23 18:31:07 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much. This was the camera I used for years and have never been truly able to part with. I love the background colors we have in Close-Up, they are the closest we can get to a natural setting.

You're very welcome
I agree.. Close-up makes good scenery for pics ^.^

Thanks! Your comment means a lot. There's just a change in the learning curve when I've got the G5 in my hands. I keep wanting to use the viewfinder, but it's useless. Thanks again!

Kalia looks huge here. I like this photo very much, one cannot see that its taken with a different camera.
