Assignment: Magic Light

[Kerry Perkins]

In the magic light of post-sunset at the Salton Sea, an egret wings its way across the water.

50D, EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS + 1.4x @ 280mm
Aperture priority, f/5.6@1/250, evaluative metering EC 0 ISO 400 WB 5400
AI Servo autofocus, HH, no flash

On the negative side, the bird is quite soft. But on the positive side, the colors rock. The whole comp does. This would look awesome if rendered to a master painter's style. Visit the OOTB :p forum buddy! I can see a Monet here.

[Kerry Perkins]

Hmmm, could work... I knew that this was not a great bird shot, but love the colors and I hope the theme takes precedence over the techs! :D

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

I am not picking on you, you know! :) Try with DAP, it will ROCK!

[Alfred Forns]

..... easy conversion :)

Lots of mood and its almost like a DC out of the camera On of the strongest points is the wing reflection Really nice !!! ...and magic light it is in a big way !!!!!

[Kerry Perkins]

No worries Ákos, didn't take it that way! :D

Gonna put something up in OOTB...

I really like this, Kerry, it's different; the blue is very striking and I like that reflection.

[Gus Cobos]
