California Quail, Mourning Dove and Squirrels

Yes, more cute critters in this post, the Mourning Dove was a surprise, I’ve not seen them in this area before. The quail tend to run away like a chicken with its head chopped off, zoom! Those landscape photos aren’t balanced right, too much blue but even pulling up the white level didn’t fix them. I tried! I have zero desire to go anywhere today, no plans. Supposedly, Las Vegas will hit 97F today but it’s only around 80 right now. Still too cold, LOL!!

  1. I love quails! You’re right that they zoom! I have never been able to catch a photo of them

    • Thank you, Mike! I’ve been processing several photos this eve of the California Qual and those adorable squirrels that look like chipmunks. Keeps me outta trouble haha. πŸ€ͺ

          • That’s good (to my way of thinking). I like it close to natural if possible. Sometimes you need to tweak the exposure a little but there’s a point where the photo stops looking real. It depends on the look you’re going for.

            • Right, too much is too much. I really appreciate your thoughts on my photos, Anneli. Your photos are very good. 😊

              • I think each person has strengths with their photos. Sometimes it’s good content/composition, sometimes it’s colour/lighting, and sometimes it’s the clarity, and then there’s opportunity. So many photos have worthwhile attributes. I’m pleased that you’ve found something worthwhile in mine.
