Part of my bird collection

The photo shows some of my bird collection. I don’t have very many bird ornaments but I do like the ones I have. Vince, my husband, took the photo for a Facebook challenge on a photographic website.
The challenge was to take a photo without processing it at all after the shot was taken. The image had to be uploaded straight from the camera. Most professionals ‘touch-up’ their photos in some way so it can be a challenge to produce something really good with an initial shot. Of course, being able to tweak a photo so much post-click can make a person a bit lazy about getting the best photo they can first time.
In a few hours, we’re off to see Red Dog, an Australian movie. It’s being filmed for free at the amphitheatre in our little town. I’ve seen it before but am looking forward to seeing it again.

Photos I upload are all raw too - I do not know how to edit photos.

@JudyEv It’s good you know all about those. I only know how to rotate photos when they’re sideways.

@toniganzon It's not my favourite job. I don't have a favourite. They're all non-favourites!

@JudyEv I do the same all the time, I take out the SD Card from the camera, insert it in the computer slot and upload my photos... I know that you can upload to Facebook directly from the smartphone, but I believe that you need a computer if you use a digital camera.

that is a really good picture. Birds like that are easier to own. They don't require constant bird seed!

@DocAndersen That's true but I do them regularly. I was told if you wash them, it delays the crazing that sometimes besets old ornaments. So mine get washed.

Beautiful mixture of colors!
I don’t touch up my photos at all. I don’t know how.
