    <p>Cool Dorus! Looks like a Smooth billed Ani, a Snowy Egret, and an Orapendulum</p>

    </blockquote>

    <p>obviously, you know your (tropical) birds very well, Douglas. You're quite right. The Orapendulum came up in my search as Crested Oropendola, which is probably one and the same.<br /><br />I first came to know these birds by their local names ie. Kawfutuboi, Sabaku and Ponpon.</p>

    <p>That's the sigma 50-500mm I bought last autumn, a pleasantly versatile lens.<br />now I'm practising to become a bird-shooter (what's the fancy word again?)<br />Then, Douglas, will you tell me how you get your shells afloat ?</p>

    <p>hello Yury<br />as both being frequent posters on the POTW I feel a 'duty' to criticise your latest entry.<br />don't want to hurt your feelings, hope this will help you<br />you like the woods obviously, but the first 2 have no subject. It's chaos and unpleasant to look at. The third is fine except that it's painfully overexposed.<br />I suggest you find some professional or a club to look at your work.<br />cause you really seem to enjoy photographing and that's a thing to be cherished</p>

    <p>I'm looking with a keen eye to the bird-shots, Douglas. I wil be travelling to Surinam soon, bringing a 50-500 sigma.<br />Not sure if I'll be able to upload, as I'll be travelling off the beaten tracks. <br />Wishing you all happy photographic hunting, and hope to be back online next year.</p>

    <p> do you mean <em>Indian or "Bollywood" </em>dancing? <em>Hindi</em> is a language. </p>

    </blockquote>

    <p>Anirban : technically you may well be right, In my personal vocabulair I use 'hindi' as an adjective covering anything hindustani or indian.</p>

    <p>well I'm rather ignorant about hardware & software as well as the science of photography. However, I do miss proper autofocussing, something I was painfully aware of yesterday while shooting an indoor dancing party. <br />Still have plenty material left when 1 in 10 is sharp enough. These are from earlier in the week: <br>

    <p>PP was done with silver efex plugin. Picture was taken at a art-exhibit in which I participated with photo's. <br />The wino 'model' was party-crashing and hence didn't care me taking pictures of him.<br />I had brought a 40mm pentax lens for shooting portrait, but got carried away and shot all with my worst lens, that sigma 18-125mm (not 135 like I said before)</p>
