A Mew Gull set against a background of a rocky intertidal area. Photographing birds is challenging and fun. I have had the pleasure of chasing after them for years. The images I get can show the bird as a specimen and, if I try hard, are aesthetically pleasing. But...

A short while ago, I received an EOL notice. It didn’t mean much to me but I opened up my hosting platform and very quickly learned that EOL stands for End Of Life. As one might expect, this is not a good thing. Essentially, the underlying programming to all of...
