^^^^^^Maybe tweak the white balance on that a bit?

[The1]

i kinda like the yellowness... gives an aged look to the christmas photo, kinda nastalgic.

but, if i were going that route, i'd add noise.

[The1]

hope you don't mind...

I added noise (maybe too much) and a slight increase to the vignetting.

[M_Six]

So something like this, maybe? Some noise and some vignetting?

[M_Six]

Yeah, we're just screwing around with edits, aftercorbu. Happens here.

[UdubBadger]

nice edit mark, noise is just right.

[aftercorbu]

EDIT >>> messed around with the white balance a bit

[M_Six]

There you go. Nicely done.

They were telling me they might take me to see a predatory bird aviary tomorrow, so that may yield some interesting results.

Might be back in the summer again, my dad was telling me about the Rodeo in Chayenne, so I might check that out, and attempt to get to the dunes. I'll let you know if I'll be back out this way.

Well done.

I was out this morning trying to get something nice with the eclipse, but the haze was too much. I'll have to do a straight moon shot tonight.

that's too bad about the haze, but at least you got up to see it.

I'm still mentally 1 times zone off from here, and have 2 more times zones to drive through, so i wasn't ready to mess with sleep to see the eclipse this time around.

anyways, off to rocky mountain park with the dad and his wife. Hopefully catch some wildlife.

I was told tonight is the full moon, so you should be have some great opportunities

[M_Six]

Full moon here tonight, but cold as hell. I decided to shoot the moon as it came up over the ridge behind our house. I did it from the comfort of our bedroom. While I was waiting for the moon to clear the trees, I grabbed this shot of the turkey buzzards hanging out in the trees. It wasn't nearly as bright out as it looks. In fact, I had to call on my old Mexican buddy Manual Focus to get this shot at all. That's the moon coming up in the background.

Such a romantic scene. Moonlight. Buzzards. All that's missing is the Beethoven music wafting in.

[Activ]

I may have some photos to add soon

What settings/lens were you shooting with that caused the blur?

give me about 3 minutes to get back to you on that...

it's mostly because the deer was actually close, and the slight camera shake giving me that blur.

but it was:
7D
100 ISO
100-400mm F4-5.6
shot at 400mm
F5.6
1/200th

[The1]

i think this was the same deer, I was surrounded, so I sort of lost track.

just another one I liked
