Carla Finley's photostream

Just got into birdwatching about 2003. One day when I couldn't find a bird to photograph, I saw a dragonfly. I was hooked. Started taking photos of insects and love the challenge of it. I love all nature and wildlife and am awed by even the smallest and dullest of creatures.
I have no idea what I'm doing with my camera. I leave it on auto. I don't know anything about dpi and what size I should make the photos. I just hope for the best. I would like to find a class or book for dummies. August 18, 2007 must update: I am working on learning different settings. Got a Canon S3.
I must say, I've been on Flickr solid since December 2005 and I'm hooked big time. I'm loving all the great people I've met.

Be sure to check out my daughter and son-in-laws websites. They run karaoke in Venice, Florida. They have probably 5000 songs! Their other business is Preferred Window Cleaning and More.

I'm very excited to have captured a video of a hummingbird while it sat on my husband Mike's finger.
