Great shot Steve.

I thought it was unusual for a Wood Stork to be laying unless it was on a nest. This one must have been really tired.

Just like a female to stick her tongue out at you.

I'm slowly ditching LR so I need to find some new method to the madness. At this moment NX-D, RT and GIMP are the tools on the Mac.

Don't rule out Aperture, no matter what the naysayers say.

Isn't Apple ditching that? I'm completely hooked to RT. It's not as stable as it could be on Mac but it does a fantastic job and is a program of merely 50Mb. LR is a great all-rounder and catalog but there's some weird logic to having a catalog needing more space than its content.

Define ditching. While they may no longer support or improve it, we will still be able to use well into the future. I find it to be the only editor I need except for Tonality, which I use for b & w conversions.

I'll download it tomorrow and see what it does. I tried Darktable but it didn't jibe with me. It's too LRy. I can do about anything with RT and since I always work with TiFFs, I use NX-D to adjust exposure and crop before converting to that format. Logically Nikon's soft should do the best job with the initial colors/quality. All the processing I do in RT now but I need something to do fixing, like eventual spots and all that. I'm trying GIMP now to see if I can finally get through the awkwardness.

I got word my last option for a standalone PS was nada so if they don't want my money, I'll invest it in something else. I can do without them. And since I will be PSless, dragging a resource-hog like LR along only for spot removal is of little use.

Took about 20 shots of this American Bittern, but it kept getting deeper and deeper into the bulrush until it disappeared.

Any of you farm folks know what type of hen this is?
