Photo of the Day June 2014

My first squirrel picture - this little blighter looking cheekily at me from a gargoyle on the local church.

Advice - is there anything I can do to make the squirrel show up more against the stone background?

Cheers

Don't shoot a grey animal on a grey background?

I think part of the charm of this picture is that he kind of blends in and peeks out rather than pops up out



I sorry i only spent 2 mins on this, and I rather threw everything at it and overcooked it for my taste, but things like cropping tighter, sharpening the squirrel, softening the background, make the squirrel brighter/contrasty/more saturated do the opposite to the background. etc. will help make him stand out

Thanks, but you're probaly right and it looks better left alone.
I didn't notice the tail in the original until later on.

Cheers

I way behind on editing so this one is from the local Easter parade.

I took my new Nikon 10-24mm out on a test-drive and this is one of the results.

Wow and I thought I was behind! Easter was ages ago.

I've been very busy! And my aging computer just aids in putting off editing.

Have you got the camera or the lens wrong?

----------

Through mild modification on some lenses, it is possible.

So why put a £75 lens on a £1250 camera? Like putting diesel in a Ferrari!

Please do, it's actually my wallpaper right now as well.

And in case anyone needed more Iron Man goodness, here's another photo from this weekend.

Riverbank walk

And none should be given!

Apparently hair of the dog originally referred to an apocryphal cure for rabies.

Hmm, thank you! Does it work (hangover, not rabies!)?

Still no squirrel

If noticed, the tiger is cross eyed. He could possibly see multiple squirrels...what would he do??? Hmmm

Weekend in Venice

Hi,

just spent a long weekend in Venice. Unfortunately the sky was grey, but other than that it was fun. Some pictures taken. C&C welcome.

It does. It's a slippery slope though

I like that one. Nice use of sky. Shame that there is a bit of tree encroaching in the top left hand corner. Nice job though.


Here's one of my BFF.
