*OFFICIAL* Snapshot of the Day (one image per post please) #2

Do what pays for the hobby, but keep a personal use file of unaltered shots

[- Paul -]

All RAWS are unaltered anyway? I really don't see the issue with altered jpgs. As long as you keep the RAW which I guess most photographers do, then there is no problem. Tastes and "whats in fashion" change. I personally like the vibrant saturated hdr effect. The pheasant shot is great.

I keep all of my Raws, plus any published jpg and, in cases where I think that I may do considerable reworking a tiff that's been cropped, levels adjusted, but otherwise plain.

I got this kite hovering on a very overcast day. I like the almost black and white effect of it.

^^^Very cool. Looks almost illustrated. Like you painted or drew it instead of a photo. Nice.

^^^Hehe, that one makes me smile!

Damn shame, prairie dog that young suckin' down weed.


Great pic, Dave.

I'm glad everyone liked my white-tailed kite shot, probably my favorite bird to shoot, they look so epic when they hover!

Here is something completely different, a white-faced ibis. Gotta love the color on the feathers.

Sick shot Ed! Love the colors on it.

Have you done any panning shots like that? I think it would've looked cool with the background not only blurred, but showing the action.

It would be kind of tricky, but maybe worth a try sometime. Most bird in flight shots I take are at very high shutter speeds (1000 or above), as they don't really fly in a linear manner. Could be fun to try though. Usually a panning shot is a relativly slow shutter speed, as in this shot at the Sonoma Vintage races last year...65 GT-350R tearing up the track, 1/100 at f20. If I could still shift gears, I would kill for one of these!

^^^^^^That's what I need to practice this summer before the USGP in Austin in November. That's a great pan where the car is sharp and the wheels and background show motion. Nicely done.

Agreed. Hope you don't get too buried, Denn. My best friend is in MA right in the heaviest snow band. No fun at all.
