First off, yes, I changed my forum name since Backdoor Arts is how I (almost) do business and the old name doesn't really mean much 7 years down the road. RIP the Backdoorhippie.
OK, so what is this? It's a combination of a commitment to myself to actually finish processing photos that have sat for months/years to be given their (in)justice. In recent years I've tended to shoot in bursts where I'll have a couple dozen great shots taken in a day but I'll only finish the top 3 or 4 and the rest sit flagged in my Lightroom catalog. So I'm hoping to get to one to three a day over the winter months as I stay inside in the warmth, working back through 2019 and then hopefully beyond.
I've also settled into a new, more straight forward post-processing routine, at least for wildlife, that should make things quicker. And the latest Topaz Denoise AI has made it possible for me to actually clean up some of the high ISO wildlife stuff. I'm hoping to actually blog some of these where the post processing is particularly interesting, at which times I will at least post a link to it, if not only do that.
And in a way it's a subtle acquiescence to @hark who has asked me to post more of my stuff.
So here goes. Here's one from Florida last April, a Red Shouldered Hawk. I have at least a half dozen more of this bird from the 5-10 minutes it was around that are worth working on, not to mention I've already published 3 or 4 last year.
Let's see how long this lasts.
