Art was looking out the upstairs window into the backyard and spotted a Cooper's Hawk on the oak branch.
I heard his excited yell from downstairs, "Cooper's Hawk outside!"
My son-in-law, Ed and Art went scrambling for their cameras to see if they could take a photo of the big bird of prey. I grabbed mine also.
Sigh....
I'm afraid I was doing something wrong. We were all taking photos out of windows with screens. This was my photo with my new Canon SX30IS. I think my window was dirty. That's my excuse.
Ed laughed saying it's the photographer, not the camera. Easy to say when you're holding that giant piece of equipment.
I say it's the cleaner windows.
Art says, "Would you just look at his camera? Besides..." he consoled me. "You were downstairs taking the photo into the sun. We were upstairs with a better angle."
OK... maybe I'm a little mollified, but I suppose the reasons are a little or lot of everything. Ed does have a very good (alright... excellent) artistic eye AND he has a giant camera!

Here's Art's shot with his tiny Lumix. I'll bet his window was just washed.
And here's Ed's photo with his gargantuan Canon SLR!
