I updated Lightroom today, and discovered a new feature in masks. Don't know how long this has been out, but there is now an object option for masks. You highlight the rough area of the object you want to select and it refines it to nice sharp edges. I have only used it twice, but got good...

Lord, for what we are about to receive, make us truly thankful.

Took some more today. Unfortunately, it mostly seems to be Carolina Chickadees today. Fortunately, they don't seem too shy. After editing that one, it gave me an idea for some changes to the one I posted yesterday. I think portrait orientation goes a long way to minimize the distracting...

Love the bird. The feeder, not so much.

This was my Father's Day present this year. My dad had a Rollie 3.5F. It was his "baby" for many years. I got it when he passed and took pictures with it for many years. Last year I passed it on to my niece who is interested in film photography. I really love that camera.

I'm with TwistedThrottle on composition. I would like to see it with the birds moved more to the right, assuming you have some wiggle room in the original image. And addressing Nikonpup's suggestion, I've successfully, I believe, managed to brighten the eyes on birds using a radial gradient...

I finally got a chance to go do some shooting in the local area today. Exclusively used the 200-500. There were one or two shots I would have liked to use the 24-70, but wasn't going to go through the hassle of unmounting and stowing the monster, then put it back on. AF worked very well. There...

I've had my Z5 since Feb this year. I haven't had a chance to use it as much as I might like, I've only got a couple K on it. Most of that has been around the yard. I was using the hand me down D3400 for about 6 months prior to that. The more I use the Z5, the more I hate to go back to the...

OK, I posted this in the squirrel thread, but this morning decided it really needed a caption. Hope that double posting a picture isn't a breach of etiquette. What is this "perloo" you speak of?

A guy put a copy of this on my desk at work one day. FYI, my name is Doug.

I think I ought to reshoot this when I get a chance. Hopefully, my daughter and I will be free to make some half day trips in a few months. I should be able to take some more of this statue perhaps from different angle, and maybe a few verticals. Thanks to all for the feedback. I may try...

To further isolate the subject, I lightened it some. I also darkened the background some, and went back to a little more blue to contrast with the warm colors in the statue. Not quite as far as Peter went with the darkening. And, no, Peter I don't mind at all that someone edits one of my photos...

Good input. I made some changes.

I've been going back over some photos I have on my hard drive and reworking some using techniques I have been experimenting with in Lightroom. I ran across this photo and decided to try something a little different. I am somewhat undecided about the treatment of the background. The idea was to...

My dad was into photography, and I became mildly interested in college, so he gave me his old Argus C-4. After I got married the bug bit me hard and I didn't have much money. I bought a used Practica SLR, don't remember the model. Just a basic manual 35mm SLR that took the Pentax universal screw...
