Bird pictures thrill my heart!
The biggest thrill of all (for me) is to feed the seagulls at the beach, at Ocean Shores, Washington, on the Pacific Ocean coastline.
Prior to digital photography, taking 35-mm color pictures of the seabirds was my biggest vice: I used to spend thousands of dollars each year on film and processing. The savings by now (since having a digital camera) are tremendous...although I cannot say that I have literally saved a dime, because I have no savings whatsoever, but at least I haven't been having to spend it on shots that didn't quite turn out right, always striving for the ultimate seagull picture.
