Congratulations Dukovski
Ivory Gull in Plymuth MA
I took this one at dawn last Sunday. There have been 2 of these beauties visiting us recently:
one in Gloucester and this one in Plymouth MA. Hurry to get them before they are gone
The tech info:
Nikon D80 2009/01/24 12:17:33.5
Lens: 175-500mm F/4.5-6.3 D
Focal Length: 500mm
Exposure Mode: Programmed Auto
Metering Mode: Multi-Pattern
1/500 sec - F/6.3 Exposure Comp.: -0.7 EV
Sensitivity: ISO 400
White Balance: Color Temp. (5600 K)
AF Mode: AF-C
The crop is not the most happy one I know, but please bear with me.
I'm trying to learn how to clone. There was some food on the right of the bird
that I need to clone away. Any advice on best cloning practices? If requested I can
post the original photo
Also I choose this unusual head position to show both eyes.
Please let me know what you think.
I left the white balance at 5600K to catch the pink morning tone.
Any comments on that?
I did Unsharp Mask on a Value layer of HSV Decomposition in GIMP in order to sharpen.
What a pleasant surprise this morning! Thank you so much everyone.
The image is a result of all your help and the incredible amount of knowledge
I’ve got from this forum.
