Out of the Box Image of the Week for the week ending August 17th, 2012: Bill Dix - Skimmer Skirmish comp
Congratulations Bill!!!
The evening I had scheduled to visit Nickerson last week turned out heavily overcast, with dim light. Still, I loved watching (and hearing) the aerial antics of the Black Skimmers. In the brief time that I tried, though, it seemed that each time I got two birds in close proximity to one another, they were either too far away for any detail, or too close to get both birds in the frame without clipping one of them. What to do? I enlarged the canvas in PP, and combined the two aerial combatents from two frames taken a second apart. It captures the spirit of the action, if not 100% of the truth. I'm curious to know what you think.
