Nikon D5100
I'm already in love with my Nik
purrrrr
but...
I'm afraid it'll take a long time to learn working with this camera XDDD
'cause I had only old full-automatic Canon before.
everything is so difficult XD
ok, I hope I'll learn it somehow
admiring the sky tonight...
my cat is fond of reading books!
he has his own way of reading XDD
by Jacques Prévert....
this is one of my favourite his poems...
and I've found this nice cartoon (^_^)
an English translation (by Miguel Tejada-Flores):
To paint a bird’s portrait
First of all, paint a cage
with an opened little door
then paint something attractive
something simple
something beautiful
something of benefit for the bird
Put the picture on a tree
in a garden
in a wood
or in a forest
hide yourself behind the tree
silent
immovable…
Sometimes the bird arrives quickly
but sometimes it takes years
Don’t be discouraged
wait
wait for years if necessary
the rapidity or the slowness of the arrival
doesn’t have any relationship
with the result of the picture
When the bird comes
if it comes
keep the deepest silence
wait until the bird enters the cage
and when entered in
Close the door softly with the brush
then remove one by the one all the bars
care not to touch any feather of the bird
Then draw the portrait of the tree
choosing the most beautiful branch
for the bird
paint also the green foliage and the coolness
of the beasts of the grass in the summer’s heat
and then, wait that the bird starts singing
If the bird doesn’t sing
it’s a bad sign
it means that the picture is wrong
but if it sings it’s a good sign
it means that you can sign
so you tear with sweetness
a feather from the bird
and write your name in a corner of the painting.

green and white
thawing snow on leaves...
