Canon 40D
70-200 lens at 200 (Probably with 1.4 tc)
1/500"
F4.5
ISO 400
aperture priority
EC -1.67
tripod
I am not sure if this is considered "Landscape". If it isn't, please let me know where I should post it. I am trying to learn landscapes, and find it more challenging that I anticipated. lol
this was taken around sunrise. I had the EC turned down so much so not to get blinkies from the rocks and if those white tails would go up. So in ACR I had to up the exposure .45 for the center of the image, and added contrast and some saturation. I used a lower level of sharpening than I usually use, and used it mostly on the deer only. This image is nearly full size, but I think it would have helped to have more room on the left side. I think the heron is too bright, perhaps I could have fixed that somehow in ACR when I raised the exposure?? Perhaps too much brightening and sharpening? The image seems more "harsh" than it "felt" at the time I took it.
The purpose for taking this image was to show the early morning mood/atmosphere and environment at the edge of the river and the woods, trying to relate to the viewer why I love this time of day at this spot. (probably all my landscape images are from this area. :) )
Well, where do I go from here???
Thanks!
