I painted these a while ago, and can't for the life of me remember where I got them from .. I know it was very recent like the past week.. So can't even name the bird... if I find it I'll come back and tell you...
The important thing is that it was taken with my new Nikon S6800... I love, love this camera... easy , simple, great photos.
I cannot have a camera that I have to change lenses... I am camera challenged LOL !!! In other words I'm not a techie , heck I don't even know if I spelled it right..
OK.. Thanks to a fellow blogger Laura I now know the name of this bird, it's called a Eurasian Oytsercatcher .
Laura's watercolors have been my inspiration for as many years as I've been blogging.
It's so much fun to have a camera that you can actually use and enjoy. The bird painting is delightful.
ReplyDeleteCuties, know what you mean about remembering sources
ReplyDeleteIt's me Diana Davis, BJ I'd like to nominate you to post 3 of your paintings to FB for 5 consecutive days then you have to nominate someone.. Hope you will. love to you,Diana
ReplyDeleteThanks BJ, must look up that camera. Love the painting. Keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteI've had the same thing happen to me! So many ref photos!
ReplyDeleteThese birds are oystercatchers. Nice painting!
Thanks so much Laura ... mystery solved. ! I knew I'd seen it somewhere.
DeleteDear BJ - so glad you are enjoying your new camera - hubby bought me a new Olympus for my birthday a couple of months ago and I am learning how to use it. Love your birdies. Take care dear one. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteDeb, my last one was an Olympus and I loved it.
DeleteTake some great pictures, like you always do.
I love your Oystercatchers BJ and its great that you're loving your new camera. I must say it seems to have done a good job with this shot. Some camera's struggle to get the White Balance right which has an effect on how accurate our colours are. These whites look white and that's a big plus for us artists. Great job!!
ReplyDeleteThanks John, yes it's a pretty simple camera but does it's
ReplyDeletejob very well.. this photo was taken outside and then uploaded to the computer.
That's what I want ... not having to do a lot of 'special effects' as I want the painting to look as it does in real life.
