Eager to Learn Spotlight Image pat lillich for week ending 1/28/2011 - San Diego Pelican

[Roman Kurywczak]

Congratulations pat lillich for your image "San Diego Pelican" being chosen as the Eager to Learn Spotlight Image for the week ending 1/28 /2011!!!

just back from a wonderful experience at Artie's San Diego IPT. There was an incredible amount to learn, great birds and really nice people. I'm hoping that i'll retain some portion of all the information Artie offered.

this wasn't the technically most perfect image, but i loved the sense of soaring

canon 7d, ef70-200 2.8 + 1.4x , 1/8000 sec at f/5, -1.3 EV, iso 800, aperture priority, handheld

just about full frame, a little canvas added at the bottom so i could rotate it a smidge, usm and nik nr in cs5

appreciate your looking, and any suggestions for improvement you might offer. self-critique - i sure wish i had thought to trade some of that ss for more dof
