Tried another from an image I snagged this morning. At the risk of a parody of a Blazing Saddles quote: What is it when it's not quite a photograph, and not quite a painting? The others I tried for more of a drawing look. This one came out more in between. I might let it sit for a while and...

Thought I might try a color version. This looks a little like pastel chalk drawings. Hard to get the colors just right. I'm not entirely happy with the turquoise green along the top of the head. The wings aren't quite right either. They usually have a bit of an off rose color to them that just...

At a recent CNPA meeting we had a presentation on artistic rendering of images. One of the techniques made them look like pen and ink, or charcoal drawings. I found that some hummingbird pictures work quite well for this. I found that these print rather well, and make nice greeting cards when...

Spent a little more time out in the backyard this afternoon. Had a red shouldered hawk show up, with an afternoon snack. The last one is a little spooky.

This little guy doesn't seem to be too concerned about me being close by. I was standing less than 10 feet from him at one point. He was keeping an eye on me, but wasn't spooked. Minimum focus distance at 600mm on this lens is just under 8 ft. I believe I can get that close. I also found that by...

Thanks. Like I said, this go round it is going much better than the other hip. She did well enough after surgery to skip in patient rehab. Previously she spent a couple weeks in a rehab facility. (No, not THAT kind of rehab!) They've come a long way with hip replacements. It probably helped that...

Photography has taken a back seat the last couple weeks. My wife fell and broke her hip the middle of last month. She is doing quite well, much better, in fact, than she did a couple years ago when she broke the other one. Anyway, I decided to try my hand at feeding the birds again. Keeping...

You never cease to amaze me with your bird images, Woody. Keep up the good work.

This is an older thread, but it can be valuable to resurrect an old topic. Feel free to either post some of your results here in this thread, or start a new one of your own. Either way, we look forward to seeing some of your HDRs. I have used this technique a good bit at this location over the...

Yes, he says this in the video, although he didn't make it terribly clear. Obviously, if you are holding the camera steady, shutter speed will have no effect on how visible the fence is. I have used very slow shutter speeds to remove people in street scenes. As long as they are moving, it works...

Great shot!

Soooooo, they just flew in on the red eye???????:rolleyes:

Reminds me of my old "69 bug. Obviously, this is an earlier model. And it's the wrong color. It's got the same aftermarket exhaust.

My experience has been that 24MP full frame and 24MP crop frame will allow approximately the same amount of cropping. Since the APS-C sensor is roughly half the area of a full frame, it must be enlarged more to get the same size as the FF. Higher pixel density only means more resolution when the...
