Be sure not to miss
John K just posted his explanation on Why Cartoon Animation Steered Off Course. The discussion below the article is also very interesting. Well... I think it is interesting.
If you love classic cartoons, be sure not to miss this post!

Framing
I notice that as the time passes and I get more experienced, I tend to frame my models with more and more air around them. I kind of started to love showing more of the environment. This new trend will soon lead to the necessity of having a separate close-up variant of the same picture, 'cause if I go on like this, the main subject of interest will be just a little invisible pixel. I need to find balance!
There's one more thing that's been bothering me for a while: What is the best way to add the Scientific Names of all the species to posts and labels. There must be an easy and elegant solution. If I were a programmer I would create some kind of tool that would fill in the scientific name for me once I write the popular one. Even if I have to write it myself the first time, it will be very handy to have it written automatically all other times. Will keep thinking on this.

Water for a change
Decided to change the bush medium for a moment and post some water shots tonite.

Premiere
A first-time appearance, Grey Shrike-thrushes – an adult male, I think, and an immature bird – these guys were so well-camouflaged that I could hardly see them against the tree trunks.

Yellow Wattlebird
Even though they are quite common here, Yellow Wattlebirds are so restless and hard to photograph that I have to live with photos like the two below if I want to have some of them 'visit' this blog. I just haven't had luck with them at all :( The first picture shows a young bird looking at its mum and the second one shows the mum just finished feeding it - all from the wrong angle.

Black-headed Honeyeater
It's a pity that I have clipped the tail. I was so excited to spot the Black-headed Honeyeater that obviously wasn't paying any attention to the framing. More interesting photos of this series to come soon. I just don't have much time for blogging recently.

Welcome Swallow
I feel happy every time I manage to get a photo of a Swallow. But I keep failing to freeze one in the air. They are so fast and unpredictable!
