Let's start this game here too. We follow the alphabet and everything is allowed: nouns, pronouns, adjectives etc. It also doesn't have to be just one word.
Okay, one rule: no consecutive shots. You have to wait until someone else posts the next letter before you can post again.

I'll start with the A.

EDIT: I want to add that the word "portraits" in the thread title refers to all birds perched, standing on the ground, walking, running, etc. As well as to actual (head) portraits.

It would be nice if you could tell us the species of bird as not everybody knows every bird out there. Thanks!

I had in mind to make this a competition and post the winners on our social media, but we don't have enough members yet to make that work. Hopefully in future.

However, there is nothing stopping us from posting our photos of the day without it being a competition. So let's do that then and see how it goes.

The rules are:

I'm still thinking about it: getting the R5m2.

Panamoz in the UK sells them for € 3760 which is a little over 1000 euro less than buying it local (€ 4799).

Or have I waited too long and should I wait for a possible R7 mark II?
Although I believe that is still just a rumour, right? It hasn't been confirmed by Canon yet.

I have the R6 mark II...

So I was thinking we could start the Celebrity Game here too, but it's a confusing title, so I thought I would rename it to The Photo Chain Game (unless you have a better name!).

The rules:

#1 Any camera, any photo, taken at any time, will do
#2 The first word starts with the first letter of the last word

Post an image of yours that has at least one thing in common (or similar) with the previous image posted, (subject, color, expression, mood, shape, angle, setting, anything at all)

Welcome to Wild Birds of Europe. It's the continuation of a thread that I started many years ago on a forum that doesn't exist any more. I'm happy to revive it here.

Great crested grebe - a low, late afternoon sun can easily blow out the whites on these birds, so I exposed for the whites and hoped for the best. All I did in post was add a bit...

Baird's Sandpiper. Shot in the UK where they are a rare bird.

Post your pictures of Brunettes!

One of the things that I find off putting in pics is a tilted horizon. A landscape with a tilted horizon, a lake with the water about to flow away, a bird about to slide down to the edge of the frame. It can really ruin a beautiful or great photograph for me.

That got me wondering who else always sees those tilted horizons.

I have no idea where to post this, so I started a thread for Spring. Because I saw these yesterday:

Egyptian museum

While January is not a good time for wildflowers in southern Oklahoma, we can always count on Dandelions and Henbit.
