"Hi There!" Loon Wing Flap
This accommodating Common Loon provided a lovely wing flap for us late Summer, northern Michigan. Photo'd from the floor of our boat. Prior to this, he was just kind of floating around the boat, checking us out. Most often, when they do a Wing Flap, they will first turn away about 45 degrees (checking for an escape route should one be necessary). When feeling "comfy" (which is rare), they may show ya "all their stuff"! One shot of an AI Servo Series. Used Diane's tutorials to tame the whites/highlights/shadows/blacks... Also used Diane's tutorial on adding canvas (since he needed some head-room)... adapted to PSE11.
Canon 60D, 400mm DO, f6.3, 1/2500, ISO800.
Made a few blue/cyan "levels" corrections to the water, which was really dark initially. Minor noise reduction, sharpening.
Looking forward to return of these beautiful birds this Spring.Attachment 148496
