About Elysium

Retired IT professional and lifelong birder who started photographing birds while birding in 2019. "Birding" photography is different from "Bird" photography because there is no pre-planning or setup. I just photograph the birds that happen to present themselves while I am strolling about. There is very little control of subject movement and lighting. Equipment: Olympus OM-D E-M1X, M.Zuiko 300mm f/4 IS PRO Lens, MC-14 Teleconverter. Some favorite quotes... “The one who plants trees, knowing that he will never sit in their shade, has at least started to understand the meaning of life.” - Rabindranath Tagore ------------- “The difference between a beginning birder and an experienced one is that beginning birders have misidentified few birds. Experienced birders have misidentified thousands.” - Pete Dunne ------------- “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all of one’s life.” - Mark Twain ------------- IRONY is a pastor asking for your money to solve church problems and advising you to pray to solve yours.
