Seeing Artie Morris's Sally Lightfoot with motion blurred waves washing over it was one of my inspirations in going to the Galapagos. We did not have a lot of opportunities to see this kind of activity in that the tides were not right at many locations where there were opportunities, but I did have one and managed this shot. So, from that perspective I got something too take home. This image was captured with a Canon 1DX (I had loaned my 5DIV to another on the trip for a bit), 400mm DOII, 1/25th (for the motion blur), f/4.0, ISO 100, mounted on a Mongoose 4th generation on an Induro GIT 314L. Processed initially in DPP4. In Photoshop, a 30% or so crop, NIK Detail extractor to get some additional detail in the water, increased the blues a bit for the under carapace and a bit of contrast to add a little more pop. A slight selective sharpening on the crab only.
I am relatively new at posting on this sight and have had some wonderful constructive feed back on the two images I have submitted. Love it so far and thank you.
Hope you enjoy this one as well. Comments and critiques are always welcome.
