Black Winged Stilt- My World Tuesday

Posted on December 28, 2010
Black Winged Stilt, Bird
Black Winged Stilt

On my way to work, there is a collection of water by the roadside and it has turned out to be a small stagnant water pond. In winter, a lot of Black Winged Stilts come and sit there. So yesterday I decided to park my car and take a few pictures. It was a foggy day, so by a little manipulation in Picasa I have been able to make the background white! And since the bird reflection is there, I decided to make a reflection of my copyright notice too. But then couldn’t make it a mirror image.

This entry is part of My World Tuesday.

    I wonder how you could carry the camera to work. I take pictures because I have the camera in my mobile.

    You caught a nice one!

    find it a bit odd to be nitpicking on a nice photo.. but the reflection of the copyright is not as it should be naturally.. 🙂

    Abhilash, I bought a handbag large enough to hold my SLR and still it is not the largest on the campus! With a mobile I can’t take shots like these 😀

    Lady Fi thank you.

    Luna many thanks.

    Bhupesh thank you.

    SiD what to do silly pond, didn’t know how to reflect my name correctly 😀

    Appu and I bow and say thank you.

    Chitra thatnk you, did it just for fun and didn’t know how to do it correctly!

    Meena many thanks.

    Cecilia many thanks for your kind words.

    Sylvia many many thanks for your encouraging words.

    Thanks SM.

      Ms.N the editing was accidental, played around and found that it became white! Thank you for your kind words.
