Something Different

Posted By Ernest Hess

Wow Tyler!! That's a great shot. I played with the small
jpeg a little bit to increase the dynamic range... so the
original should process out great. With all your super
images you should publish a book. I know I'd buy it.

Keep snapping,

Ernie

Kestrel Photos - My Best

Posted By Ernest Hess

Great stuff Tyler...as always. Its hard to improve on prefection, but I thought I'd give it a shot. Since I
have never seen a Kestrel, I don't know if my color correction is accurate or even if the sky was this blue.
I have found that nature is more easily color corrected than people however. I like to process my images as they
appear to the naked eye and keep it as true as possible.
Opps!! I loaded the wrong image.

I think it's an excellent shot given the lighting conditions. I have attached a stretched version to bring out the colors and detial.

I'd rather be lucky than good...lucky shots are always the best. I'd sell my wife for a shot like that. (well not
really, but almost)I hope you will not mind my attempt at fixing the exposure. It isn't a perfect fix but all great
images deserve to look their best. Even the accidential ones.

Happy Digi-birding,

Ernie
