Eager to Learn Spotlight Image for 8/13/2010 Pat Lillich
Congratulations Pat Lillich!
"Dinner" - Tern from July Flight Workshop
1. Trying all the tools everyone has shown me over the last couple of weeks. I suspect these images will improve once the novelty has worn off and I don't play with the images as much.
anyway - I set black and white points (I think the blue is now too intense, though looking at the original, there isn't much difference) and used highlights/shadows to bring out detail in the underwing and body. NIK filters NR and sharpening - and a little extra unsharp mask on the fish and the birds eye. Cropped a little in LR.
I kept moving the bird around a little in the crop and never could decide on where he looked best - this one seemed best when I did it - but now I'm not liking it much....
Nikon d300, 300 f/28, 1/2000 sec f/8 at 420 mm handheld iso 400
welcome any suggestions for improving!
thanks for looking.
