I've been traveling and working a convention the last few days and had no time to comment on the several great shots that have been posted. Great stuff guys.

To get back in the swing:

lets mix it up a bit. afocal shot with an orion xt-8 and a canon t2i. 1/30th shutter. I have lighter shots but this one shows the most color

Great portrait, panicos.

Have you tried RAWTherapee? It's free and has some decent reviews.

Great shot, panicos. But there seems to be a texture to it. Did you do something in PP or is it a scanned print?

thanks mark. added grain in lightroom.. also increased clarity..

M_Six · 05-13-2012, 07:39 PM

This is almost a 100% crop because I didn't have time to change lenses. But this raccoon is one we call Buddha because of the way she sits. She's waiting to see if I toss out any peanuts.

Chewy734 · 05-13-2012, 07:42 PM

haha, nice. They like apples too

nice

MaximusJ · 05-13-2012, 10:22 PM

Thanks!

Same bird; different angle

dcstep · 05-13-2012, 10:35 PM

Great colors in the bird pix. It's great to see your interest, but you should strive not to shoot the bird's ass. It's pretty easy to get pix of birds, but the real challenge is getting them in a pleasing position, with the perfect head angle and a light in the eye.

Here's an ordinary American Robin in a Captain Morgan pose. It takes hundreds of shots usually before everything lines up.
