I read a book on bird field photography and it was quite good! A mini-review from my experience level -- Gerrit Vyn's _Photography Birds_ 2020.

Photographers, winter can be a dry spell for a lot of us. Do you have plans to keep yourself shooting this winter? What are they?

I bought new cold weather gear and I plan to continue exploring the natural spaces near me. I also intend to continue finding inspiration for still life shots by participating in the Macro Mondays weekly theme group on Flickr.

Comparison of several flash diffusers for : youtu.be/864ZOCtUWJU

I like the Pope Shield shots, though it might be awkward to use in the field since it sticks out in front of the lens.

I think ring flash is the easiest for walk-around use (not compared in the video). I also have the fold up diffuser he uses for the 3rd photo. Results are softer than the ring flash. I plan to use it more often when bugs are back next year.

@englishm Youtube has videos where people show how they edit and explain their reasoning.

I'd avoid color grading if you want to represent what you saw. Get white balance right and adjust exposure (whites, blacks, etc) to match what you saw. Use of local adjustments to help.

To make sure you're not taking things too far, Work on developing your eye - look at other peoples photos, movies, tv. Practice editing photos regularly.

With the tag, questions and discussion can get lost amid all the photos being shared. I've made a few posts using the   tag.

Some other potentially useful tags that came up when I did a hashtag search:

@tim Very subjective of course, but a few things IMO:
- Good use of lines, geometry, and contrast to make an aesthetically pleasing composition. When it comes to genres, I see street as the king of composition
- Interactions - between people and the scene, people and other people, etc - captured at just the right moment so the still image tells the story of motion or interaction
- A fleeting, candid moment when the subject makes eye contact with the photographer

@ahdchild Fair enough 😁 Having a hashtag will certainly help once people become aware of it and start using it. I'll have to try to remember to use it when I have questions

Lately, I've been trying to find good local spots for . I figure that once a have a set of places I like, I can visit them repeatedly to capture various species throughout the year. I've found a lot of small wildlife reserves near me, but many don't seem like great locations for capturing wildlife with pleasing compositions.

Do you have places near you that you return to repeatedly? How did you find them?
