When I went on my killer two-week Galapagos trip I was thinking that there were lots of creatures that stayed still enough to make some nice Grunges possible... This is one of my many favorites.
From yesterday's Bulletin:
This image of five free and wild Galapagos Tortoises mud-soaking in a small pond was created with the Canon 24-105mm IS L lens (handheld at 24mm) and the EOS-1D Mark IV. ISO 400. Evaluative metering +2/3 stop: 1/80 sec. at f/8 in Av mode.
Everyone in the group enjoyed photographing more than a dozen huge adult tortoises in a variety of settings less than a few hundred meters from the spot where our bus dropped us off in the highlands of Puerto Ayora. This image is a five frame HDR Grunge. I did lots of experimenting with HDR Grunge images on the trip; most were created with tripod-mounted lenses.
