Backyard Birding with Kenn & Temple

We've been spending a lot of our time shooting for and posting articles to our new blog, and a bit less time in the forums lately. But we're linking lots of useful forum posts, tech-talk and tips, and plenty of images... presented in larger higher resolution galleries, slideshows, and videos than can normally be shared in the forums. We think this provides us with better ways to share our birds and photography with others of similar interests.

We hope to see you there,

Kenn & Temple

Very nice site. I particularly enjoyed the section on birds sunning themselves. "Bird Fur" is an appropriate term.

Thanks everybody, for the many nice comments. :) kris - We take many thousands of photos of our birds. And like most bird photographers, we toss out a large portion of them, to select the few precious captures we post in the Gallery. My best advice for backyard birders is to get close, or better yet... encourage your birds to get close. Then set your camera for continuous and practice keeping them in the frame while you shoot shoot shoot! ;) The downside of this advice of course... is that you need to spend a good deal of time sorting wheat from chaff. But I believe we all improve with practice, and generally get luckier as we work harder. Thanks again all, and happy birding. Kenn :) Here is a link that might be useful: 2009 Gallery

Thanks very much all for your encouragement, We love to share our birds. :) Dax - No, I hadn't seen thusie's work until you asked, but I've just visited the site. There are many outstanding bird galleries on smugmug. oldned - That's Plumeria. We bring it indoors over-winter where it goes completely dormant. And out again in late spring and all summer on the deck. It leafs out quickly in the warm weather: And produces lovely fragrant yellow-white blossoms late in the season: thanks again everybody, Kenn

Thanks as always Kenn. BTW My friends daughter did win a medal in the Bird ID category of the Science Olympiad Competition which was in part thanks to many of your photos I used to quiz her. They only give medals to the first 5 places and there were 79 schools competing in the county wide competition. I must admit though she was a very good and willing student too. Thanks again Cathy
