Hi folks here is another shady from Svalbard taken many moons ago so might be not as great as todays things posted from the technical POV .
Love this characters !!
They come to check you out while staying on the beach or boat , very cute !!
Canon EOS 1D MK IIn
EF 500 IS L + 1,4 TC
tripod
Fancy settings as follows : F 9,5 ; Iso 200 ; 1/500 sec
Processed with DPP and PS CC , wonder why DPP start working again without causing trouble to the whole Mac , cropped for comp from all sides .
Thanks for watching and commenting to my previous thread
Hi Andreas -- The IQ looks good to me , nice sharpness and inspire of the fancy settings you done very well here . Also the comp works for me as well as the colours and tones do look indeed very nice. so overall i liked this image and the creature . TFS !!
Hi Andreas, hard to get a good shot of these guys and with 100m exclusion zone long lenses are paramount. The eye looks a bit over cooked to me and rather prominent????
Thanks folks , for your kind comments as always very much appreciated .
Well the eye ...... mmmmhhh i did work a bit on the eye by dodging it and giving it a slight extra kick with HP filter and blend mode set to vivid light at 40 % , after your comments i was thinking maybe it is a bit too strong or overcooked as Steve say , i think soft light would have been better after a 2nd and 3rd look .
