For the past two years we have gone there in the summer, so I'm really missing the planning and feel of those trips to the legendary Land of the Fog :)
Cape St. Mary's , NL, one spectacular place!
Full frame, cropped for rotation.
One thing I really like here is that you both show the habitat and landscape nicely,
and yet it is OOF just enough not to overwhelm the subject,
I can feel the salty breeze...:)
beautiful image Fabs! for anyone who's never been there this image certainly captures the essence of the Cape!
i'm going to miss Cape St. Mary's this summer also! even though i live in Newfoundland, i won't be getting out that way this summer as it is still 400 miles from my home. between having my first child only 5 months ago and the weddings i have booked this summer to pay for my new 500VR i won't have too many days off to travel to the Cape.
Great angle on the bird, and the DoF seems just right to me. A couple of tweaks you might play around with:
I set the black point at 20 (!) in that dark area just in front of the bird's left wingtip, and applied S/H to the dark wingtips. I sorta like the warmer tones, but hey that's just me. :o
(I'm not suggesting this crop, of course.)
Hehehehe, I like the crop :O
I'll play with it and see how it looks although light was not that warm there. I need to see it in the bigger to see what effect it has.
Thanks again for coming to the rescue :)
