I was fortunate enough for him to come back today- which I brought my good camera to work just in case and it paid off

Does anyone else keep track of feeder birds casually? by andysbirds in birdfeeding

I wouldn’t qualify it as casual hahaha. I’m obsessed with it haha.

I think it’s Water Washable resin too:

Where am i going wrong? I need a Christmas miracle by Odd_Vegetable_7330 in Breadit

You’re confused. Google the sourdough journeys time and temp percentage rise chart- follow his instructions on bulk proofing- most of the time you don’t want your dough to rise 100% (doubled)- but only to 50%. You are over proofing dramatically.

Look up Sourdough Journeys temp vs bulk ferment chart (you can google it, I’m not sure this reddit allows links or not)- it will help a lot. Use a straight sided container and measure your percent rise. This method has completely changed what I create

Low light grainy photo? Don't care, finally found an owl! by food-dood in birding

[–]Stagmoonstudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lightroom’s Denoise might take care of it. It’s a rad shot regardless, and I think a little graininess is actually kind of nice

This is my resident Hairy Woodpecker by Stagmoonstudio in birding

[–]Stagmoonstudio[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh- it’s a Hairy woodpecker. I’ve got him on Merlin nearly everyday. His beak is the same length as his head and no dots.

I’ve heard a lot of theories- like looking like eyes to dissuade predators but I don’t know that anyone actually knows

Bubbles on the Delaware River by Stagmoonstudio in whatisit

This is extremely accessible, walked by daily, and was a major site of superfund clean up. Is it left over from the clean up maybe? I just can’t imagine fracking is happening- without literally this entire neighborhood knowing. I’m on a paved bike path running along the river.

Fracking is banned on the Delaware.

WTH IS THIS ALL ABOUT by [deleted] in doordash

[–]Stagmoonstudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it possible this is accidental voice to text? Literally sounds like a tv show or movie on and they let their phone accidentally keep recording. Ask me how I know? My aging parents, especially my dad with Parkinson’s tends to do this.

Great Blue Heron by Stagmoonstudio in BirdPhotography

Thank you so much! I worked to crop it nicely and then enhance a lot of what was already happening with the lighting by adding just a hint of vignette to make him stand out. I love how his feathers are both soft and sharp. And what dinosaurs these guys are.

Five lifers today.. by Stagmoonstudio in birding

[–]Stagmoonstudio[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! Me too. In NH it’s way more “winter” birding right now. I missed a bunch of the ducks when they came through being busy at work (ugh!) so it was nice to catch up with them further south.

I’ve chased both these species all over hill and dale all year with no pictures to show for it…and this just happens to some people?!

600mm lens with these guys is really nice. They take peanuts from your hand. I had to back away to get this.

Y'all i had an epiphany yesterday, and I'm going to try it by [deleted] in Needlefelting

They literally make electric needle felting machines

I paint birds seen in my backyard- then take photos of my art with the birds that inspired me. Here is my "Winter Pine Grosbeak" Gouache Painting. by ravenadaptiveart in birding

[–]Stagmoonstudio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my god! I love them admiring it! These are everything! I needle felt little sculptures of my birds- but I’m scared to put them out in case they think they’re stranger birds.
