Pictures & Quotations
|
We find the
right picture can really increase the power of a quotation. We
have been experimenting with adding famous quotations
to some of our pictures. You can see the results
here. |

bird Pictures
The same geographical characteristics that make New Mexico
and Arizona a happy hunting ground for tree, forest and mountain
pictures also supply bird picture opportunities. Each
ecological zone from Chuiahuan desert near El Paso to alpine
tundra above Santa Fe have their own set of birds.
On the other hand, good bird pictures take lots of time,
effort, and equipment. Sitting in a blind for hours
with a long telephoto and lots of patience may be required.
If this is not your cup of tea, perhaps you should consider
visiting the Bosque del Apache Wildlife Refuage south of
Socorro, NM. The bosque is a large area of marshland
made by diverting water from the Rio Grande onto the surrounding
land. This mimics what used to happen in the annual
spring floods.
Since New Mexico is also on a main miagratory bird flyway
Bosque del Apache attracts huge flocks of birds including
sandhill cranes and a few whooping cranes. It is best
to visit at dawn or dusk and bring lots of memory for your
didital camera.
Walking Rain Gallery
This website displays only a few of our collection of bird
pictures. At Walking Rain Gallery we have more, as
well as many pictures of other subjects. Clicking
links on this site will take you to the bird category
of Walking
Rain Gallery. Once
there you can see all of our bird pictures and order
whatever pictures and/or products you would like. We
invite you to look around and see what we have in other categories
while you are there.
About us and our bird pictures
We enjoy photography and use the income from sales of our
pictures and products to finance more travel and photography. However,
we find the rights management conditions required by stock
photo companies unreasonable.
Our copyright and digital rights management is very simple:
you can do anything you want with these images, including
using them for commercial products, except claim
you have a copyright to the original image. We retain
the right to use the images ourselves in any way we please. Fair
enough?
We have included images on the website which are not
large enough to print a 5" x
7" at
300 DPI. The download for those is free. We think
that is a good way to let customers test our shopping cart
and enjoy pictures which are to small for demanding uses.
Techniques & Technology I got my first camera (a Nikkormat) in 1965 and have been
taking pictures ever since. We took slides for many
years and then converted to film. We finally made the
move to digital and are still in the conversion process. This
and related sites are being built by converting our huge
collection of negatives to digital, editing them with Photoshop,
and building websites based on the pictures and our experiences
taking them. It's a lot of work so it will be a while
before these sites can be considered a finished project. We
think there is a lot to enjoy in the meantime through. |

Pictures & Proverbs
|
Proverbs are
strong, insightful statements which are still relevant
today. We like to combine pictures with a variety
of proverbs because the visual dimension can potentiate
the power of the written word. You can see our
work here. |
