Denise and Roman workshop

[carole wiley]

I don't often post an image, there are far better images here than anything I can add but I went to the recent workshop at Nickerson with Roman and Denise, both of whom are extremely gracious and enthusiastic about what they do. I reall enjoyed the time spent and thought I would offer this image. Nickerson is an amazing place and, for me, quite challenging. While this may not be the best of the day technically it is an image I enjoy. I would like to thank Roman and Denice for a great workshop. Taken with the 7D, 500mm plus 1.4TC Manual (thank you Roman), fill flash.

Hi Carole - nice fine feather detail! Fill flash looks good, like the shooting angle and the inclusion of the feet firmly planted on the sand.
I get the feeling it could use just a little bit of CCW rotation - feels like it is titled to the right - could just be me though.
Like it!

Carole, You are a fine photographer and you should post more-you have plenty to add to this forum!!:) I really like this one too. The pose and sharp details are wonderful. Great close-up and the fill flash looks good. Don't ask me about the rotation-I can never get mine straight It was a pleasure to meet you and I look forward to shooting with you again.

Like it too Carole, and agree with Lance about CCW rotation and just a little tight. Great feather detail, and good teachers:)

Put me down for "LIKE IT" too, Carole. I'm like Denise, not sure about rotation. But a couple of other suggestions:
Set white and black points, and that will automatically warm it up a smidgen. I also did some selective sharpening
with Topaz Detail, which is good for bringing out the fine feather details that are lurking in this very nice image.

Thanks, Denise! Now, if I can just figure out rotation .........

I always like it when a photographer new to this site jumps in with something different and creative as you have done here. Carole. The pose is interesting and you have received some great tips which I have learned from as well. Please post more of your work!

[Roman Kurywczak]

Hey Carole,
Thanks! It was a really long day for you and glad you had a great time. Nice to see you were thinking a bit outside the box too with this one and some great advice given above to make a strong image.....shine even more. I'm even more thrilled you got manual mode! Looking forward to more and thanks again!

[Dave Mills]

Carole, David's repost warmed the image somewhat and brought out more detail. I like the way you handled the image creatively using a tight crop.
Glad you got so much out of I'm sure a very instructional workshop taken at great place to shoot...
