    Default Gemsbok Parade

    I thought I'd mix it up a little because there have been so many predators posted recently and post some gemsbok/oryx. Taken in Etosha National Park, Namibia. This was just before 9 am so the sun was already getting stronger.

    Canon 5D3
    70-200 II @ 200mm
    1/2000
    f7.1
    ISO 400
    HH from safari vehicle, cropped to pano, luminosity mask, levels, curves, selective color adjustments, dodging and burning, sharpened in CS6.

    C&C welcome and appreciated. Thanks,

    Rachel

    Default Repost - Less Sharpening

    Once I posted the above I realized that parts of the bush looked oversharpened because I had failed to mask them or adequately dial back the sharpening for web action. So here's a repost with the sharpening for web adjusted.

    Sorry about that,
    Rachel

    Hi Rachel, good call on the RP, addresses my initial thoughts.

    If you have it, a bit more on the LHS for me, but see what others think. With such a high SS I might have dropped the ISO.

    I too wish more more space on the LHS, spacing them equidistant from the edges.
    Nice call on the repost, certainly was a tad crunchy.
    Just watch your masking around the gemsbok - some blotchy-crunchy patches on the grasses around them.

    Notably this has that "murky" Etosha sky too.

    Thanks Steve and Morkel - unfortunately no more room left or right and yes, I did the rp a little too quickly with the masking.

    Thanks again,
    Rachel

    Hi Rachel,
    technically all been said by M and S, in which i agree.

    Like the lined up gemsbok and the typical Etosha colors, likewise the pano format .
