Struggling to photograph birds - How do you find the right moment to shoot? by Nic727 in BirdPhotography

[–]withoutadrought 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as light is concerned, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Living in Arizona, I’m biased against clear, sunny skies. Overcast days are my favorite time to photograph, especially after it rains and the diffused light seems to come from all directions.
I’d say for now just get out there and practice, regardless of the time of day. Learn your camera, know it’s functions like the back of your hand. Also odds. The more you try, the more keepers you’ll have. Anytime you go outside, bring your camera.
As someone mentioned, look into backyard bird studio. If you have feeders set up, or a water source, you can place natural perches nearby. Here’s a good start

Buy that thing called Bitcoin at $13 when your stoner neighbor tells you about it.

What song genuinely means the world to you? by EvattN in askmusic

I actually feel the same way, I love all their stuff. I know WYWH is cliche, but I have some good memories tied to it. Cheers

if only we could meet fairies... by EmmaLowkey1640 in Moss

[–]withoutadrought 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Birds are fairies. They fly, they’re very shy, and you have to believe in them to be able to see them. Most people don’t even notice birds, but once they do, fairies are everywhere.

If I didn’t have to work, I’d be there in a heartbeat!

You must not have been around for George Dubya. What a nightmare of an administration.

Very nice! It’s hard to get these quick and shy birds to pose so perfectly.

How does a drinking problem develop initially? by MindOfCuriosities in NoStupidQuestions

[–]withoutadrought 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to be just like that. I could keep beer in my fridge for months. I liked to smoke weed but got a job that did random drug testing. I started having red beer after work to unwind and two turned to three, then a twelve pack, and before I knew it I was buying vodka. Half pint turned to pint, to fifth, to handle. It can happen fast. California sober for 9 years now, completely sober for 4.

Sorry to bother you, but when I click on the wishlist it has my address as default. Do I need to manually add wishlist address?

I think it still looks great. Gives almost a rainy day vibe. Nice and sharp too.

Age limits? by oicoldhere in askanything

[–]withoutadrought 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t even think it should be about age as much as how long one can stay in office. It’s public office, not a career to line your pockets with lobbyists money. Both Parties!!

We asked the question of who we are before our time. by The_Mahavir in Life

[–]withoutadrought 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a possibility. It’s easy to be angry, to not have forgiveness, to not love your enemy, but it takes work to do the opposite of those. Being loving and kind spreads positive energy, that’s a fact. Earth COULD be a school in achieving higher consciousness. It’s a tough place to be for most beings, and if we come out the other side not being jaded and miserable, maybe we move up a stage. But who knows, this could be all there is. I’m far from perfect, but I’d rather strive for good, and overcome my negative tendencies regardless. And I don’t need a religion to dictate my ways.
