Thanks to my 365 day photo challenge at https://tookapic.com/jenniferfaye I have been taking so many photos recently and I love it! I took my camera to work with me last night, and went out during my break to see what I could find.
Mostly I captured birds, but this one squirrel was very curious as to what I was doing it seems.
I almost didn’t share this pigeon because I’m not too happy with the composition, but I just love the eye.
The following photos are all of Purple Martins. They were everywhere! And not very shy.
For all of you Disney fans, this one below is standing on an “I’m Celebrating” button. I was so focused on the bird that I didn’t even notice until afterwards when I was reviewing the photos. I wish I had caught it sooner to get a clearer angle.
And I think this last one might be my favorite. Not necessarily because of the quality, but the story. There was a larger bird (a Raven I think) standing on a light post directly above. He kept dropping crumbs and hitting this guy on the head. This was his reaction.
As always, thanks for looking! Feedback and comments welcome!
Very nice set of pictures!
ReplyDeleteSaturation could go up a tad more on the squirrel, pigeon and raven ones to bring out the back ground a bit more. You familiar with adjustment brushes? Raise exposure and clarity slightly and give the eyes a tap each to bring out the spark.
Thanks! I always worry about going overboard with the saturation, trying to find that perfect balance. At your recommendation I've been playing around with adjustment brushes, I need more practice but I love the control!
