Though he did not know me from Adam, he generously shared 30 minutes of his time with me and answered all of my questions. “Twenty years ago when I first became interested in bird photography, I purchased a copy of the original ‘ The Art of Bird Photography.’ I was confused about several topics, including and especially the use of extension tubes. When we first teamed up to tackle that project, he shared the following story with me: The idea for Alan Murphy’s first eBook, “The Guide to Songbird Set-up Photography,” popped into my head not ten minutes into the great program he did for the Nature and Wildlife Photographers of Long Island group way back in 2009! I let him know my thoughts right after the conclusion of that program and thus, the songbird set-up guide was born. The Audubon’s Oriole image above is one of my very favorite Alan Murphy images. If you are seriously into bird photography, the name Alan Murphy will be quite familiar to you. Image courtesy of and copyright Alan Murphy.

Please remember also to use my B&H affiliate links or to save 3% at Bedfords by using the BIRDSASART discount code at checkout for your major gear purchases. Please remember that if an item - a Delkin flash card, or a tripod head - for example, that is available from B&H and/or Bedfords, is also available in the BAA Online Store, it would be great, and greatly appreciated, if you would opt to purchase from us. And doing so works seamlessly with your Amazon Prime account. As you might expect, doing so will not cost you a single penny, but would be appreciated tremendously by yours truly. On a related note, it would be extremely helpful if blog-folks who, like me, spend too much money on Amazon, would get in the habit of clicking on the Amazon logo link on the right side of each blog post when they shop online. Remember that you can find some great photo accessories (and necessities, like surf booties!) on Amazon by clicking on the Stuff tab on the orange/yellow menu bar above. This blog post took about an hour to prepare including the time spent on the image optimization and the tight crop. Wherever you are, and whatever you are doing, I hope that you too have a great day.

See especially The Guide to Songbird Setup Photography. To learn more about Alan’s videos and e-books, please click here. Much of what I have learned about Topaz DeNoise and Sharpen AI was learned by watching Alan’s various videos and webinars and I am looking forward to his next presentation on Tuesday, Octo(8 PM Eastern, 7 PM Central, 6 PM Mountain & 5 PM Pacific time).

I did not make any photographs at the Road Kill Cafe, but I will be back tomorrow morning with a vengeance.

Surprisingly, there were no Black Vultures. Then I drove off to do some flowers and by the time I returned there were about twenty Turkey Vultures, a juvie Bald Eagle, and an adult Crested Caracara. On Saturday morning I put out some fish carcasses on the South Peninsula to get the local birds re-accustomed to the location.
