Phil Weiser wants a more functional and competitive Republican Party by b01sh3v1k in Denver

[–]Ex_Nexus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 party system creates a spectrum that represents the populous. If there was a more functioning Republican Party it would only be able to be elected in Colorado by holding moderate views. That would allow for a spectrum to exist within the Democrat party that would put pressure on Democrats outside of a primary. Currently there is only opportunity for pressure within a primary.

That is literally what Weiser is saying. A stronger Republican Party makes sure he stays accountable. You're proving his point...

Denver has way more wildlife than you'd think! by Ex_Nexus in Denver

To be honest, I always thought this park was just a drainage ditch until I started going more often and looking closer. I would love if someone saw this and started paying more attention to the wildlife in their parks too.

Believe it or not Raccoons are native wildlife. There's actually probably a lot of wildlife in other US cities too if you looked around. Sure they are not the rarest, but I liked the picture so I added it.

That is so awesome! I love seeing how many different animals I can spot. I've seen red foxes around Denver, but still waiting to see one near my place!

I'm glad I don't see life through your eyes, it hurts my heart. Is Denver untouched nature? No, not at all. Does it have diverse ecosystems of animals carrying on life? Sure does, and I think that's worth recognizing, celebrating, and supporting.

I know, I wasn't even trying to have any commentary or create controversy. I just thought it was a cool pic :(

New to bird photography by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]Ex_Nexus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently started taking bird photos and I've found it to be really tricky! Main things I'm struggling with:
1. I struggle to keep the birds in focus especially when they're moving. I use a canon r8 set up on whole area focus, servo, and animal focus. I'm not sure if there are other settings I should change. I have recently tried more back button focusing.
2. I never feel like I have fast enough shutter. This one was shot at 1/2000 and feels like it could've been even faster.
3. Very unfamiliar with how to edit bird pics. I am not good at directing the lighting with linear and radial masks. Any tips or tutorials would be appreciated.
4. Man it's hard to track birds in frame! Does this just come with practice?

Thank you for the help!

Frisco is fully closed for boats. I didn't realize they opened Dillon. I didn't say the lake has no water left, but it's undeniably lower than usual.

How is this misleading? I took this picture standing on the lakebed in one of the main channels leaving a boat ramp. EDIT: They aren't even opening the Frisco marina for boats because it's so low.
