The wisteria flowers are the flowers of trees that begin to bloom around the end of April here in Japan. It is a kind of flower with a wide range of cultivation purposes.

REMOVE.BG : 画像処理ソフト



Shopped photos,画像処理ソフト写真

I don't feel like going out to take wild birds pictures, due to there being too few migratory birds except ducks, from last year and as of this year.

So,to relieve the boredom, I have processed several images with the photo-editing application named "removal b.g" which I found three years ago on the web.

去年から今年にかけて、カモ類以外の渡り鳥が少なすぎるので、野鳥の写真を撮りに行く気がしません。退屈しのぎに、3年前にウェブで見つけた「removalb.g」という名前の写真編集アプリケーションでいくつかの画像を処理しました。

Chinese grey shrike,オオカラモズ

I took the Chinese grey shrike for the first time, but the distance between the camera and the target was too far. The place where the Chinese gray shrike inhabits is 90 km away from my residence, and I went there ride by my friend's luxury car. The target was not come closer to my camera position, even though it has passed 5 hours after setting up the camera.

 The Chinese grey shrike (Lanius sphenocercus) is a species of bird in the family Laniidae. It is found in China, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Mongolia, and the Russian Far East. Its natural habitat is temperate forests. The giant grey shrike (L. giganteus) of central China was formerly considered a subspecies.A few Chinese gray shrikes immigrate to Japan as winter birds or passing birds.Cited from Wikipedia

初めてオオカラモズを撮りましたが、カメラとターゲットの距離が遠すぎました。オオカラモズが生息する場所は私の住居から90km離れており、友人の高級車に乗ってそこへ行きました。カメラを設置してから5時間経っても、ターゲットがカメラの位置に近づきませんでした。 オオカラモズ(Lanius sphenocercus)は、モズ科の鳥の一種です。 中国、日本、北朝鮮、韓国、モンゴル、極東ロシアで見られます。 その自然の生息地は温帯林です。 中国中部の巨大な灰色のシュライク(L. giganteus)は、以前は亜種と見なされていました。何羽かのオオカラモズは、冬鳥または通過鳥として日本に移住します。 (ウィキペディアから引用)
