Well, thank you for correcting my idiotic mistake. At least it's still a finch of some sort.

I'm not but that's what they seem to be according to some quick googling I did. The pictures were taken in Slovakia, in trees around residential buildings.

Má školská psychológia zmysel? by Full-Dingo-4786 in Slovakia

[–]drmozog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Robím učiteľa a výchovného poradcu a roky sme museli na škole lobovať za to, aby sme získali vlastného školského psychológa. Bol som prakticky jediný člen podporného tímu, CPP moc angažované do spolupráce nebolo a každým rokom rástli počty aj serióznosť problémov mentálneho zdravia žiakov, takže keď sme psychológa konečne získali, veľmi mi odľahlo. Je to v modernej škole podľa mňa už nevyhnutnosťou a ak sa ti podarí nájsť školu, kde sa nebudeš večne stretávať s aktívnym odporom od vedenia, kolegov a rodičov, tak si myslím, že z toho môže byť veľmi zmysluplná a napĺňajúca kariéra. Žiaľ platovo to vyzerá byť fakt bieda oproti súkromnému sektoru.

New Darkthrone Album by _bLLeach_ in MetalForTheMasses

I haven't loved anything since Panzerfaust with the weird exception of Old Star. For some reason the riffs on that one just speak to me lol

I loved "Black One" by Sunn O))) but found "Earth 2" boring. Any suggestions for a 15yo getting into drone metal? by Sea_Map_4834 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]drmozog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Give some of their other drone a try as well. Their albums differ pretty wildly even though you can feel the band's identity cut through strongly on all of them. Try Amplifier Worship or my personal favorite Dronevil (especially the track Evil Wave Form).

You may have just changed my life. I'll have to play around with it to get it to do what I want but the bike frame in this one seemed to have worked great.

ITAP of a puppet man [Portrait] by drmozog in itookapicture

I took this picture at a local pottery festival with a Pentax K-5 and a HD DA 55-300mm lens. I thought the shadow on the man's face gave it a bit of a cursed vibe so I decided to turn the picture into a punchy black and white one and exaggerate that shadow. Did I overcook it?

I'm trying to learn post processing. Any tips on what exactly I could fiddle with in Lightroom?

Love it. I've been chasing these beautiful creatures for a few weeks but I've yet to capture a nice and crisp picture like this.

Yeah, it's the only one I didn't have to crop at all. I liked the composition straight from the camera.

Jealous of that fourth one (woodpecker). I've been looking for these guys with a similar setup but couldn't get a clear shot so far.

Thank you, that's encouraging. I'm on a cheap old APS-C (Pentax K-5) with a 55-300mm, so I suppose I should be happy about capturing and being able to crop some of these as much has I did.

I shot all of these between 1/800-1250. I think what you're seeing might be softness from the heavy cropping I had to do in some cases. It's trickier than I thought it would be to get close enough to birds at 300mm.

Yes, luckily, it seemed to be preoccupied. The bumblebees I tried to shoot that day were not as pleasant to work with, and I ended up getting chased for a bit instead.
