NON BIRD IMAGE from yesterday

While out birding , I stopped at blue chip farms to check out the cute foals in the foal barn to check the new arrivals.... no camera aloud though :(

I was aloud to shoot ANY horse outside the barns though :)

This is one that I just edited quickly for my friend.

Paul,

I'm suprised! No birds:p But a great shot nonetheless, very well done! Always neat to see offspring of any animal!

Well done,

Jared

Very nice composition. The softness of the background works well. Soft enough to not be distracting but enough information to add to the scene. On my screen it looks like it might be punched up, saturation I guess, just slightly.And if they had wings they could fly.

ah yes.. +4 saturation, +2 contrast and a slight S curve in curves

Thanks Gerry and jar_e for looking

"IT'S NOT JUST BIRDS" as Aurthur Morris would say :D

My girls really like this one Paul. Nice shot.

So does this mean we are going to be seeing more from you now that it's warming up?


and btw, when you said a non-bird image, I almost expect a butt in leather pants to go with penny's :D

I'll bet there's at least a crow somewhere in those trees. ;)

Nice shot, Paul. I'm not sure about adding saturation - that looks good where it is. The background looks a little hazy, and it's a cool effect. Of course, it may have/probably did look kind of like this in real life!

WARM isn't the problem.... time is ;) I work nights and have no energy to go out . tuesday night is my weekend, so Wednesdays I leave my house by 5AM to go birding(weather permitting)

As for my rump..

LIKE I SAID "LADIES FIRST ADINA"

Those are the adjustments I already did.. NO MAS is right ;)

This image was shot(full frame) at 400mm F9 to get the soft BG , some may say I need less DOF or lots more though? It was VERY hot that day(high 90's) and very humid. The sun had gone behind some thin clouds around noon, so I shot away ;)

Almo... lessen the contrast on that file bro!

Who said anything about clothing ? :D

So are we going to see any of these foals winning the Triple Crown in three years? Are these racehorses? (since there's no pictures allowed inside the barn, it sounds like a professional setup.)

No triple crown, since they are pacers and trotters :) But yes they are high quality horses!

READ the link Kelly, then back to your hiatus :) http://www.bluechipfarms.com/about/
