Rich, that has happened to me several times. It looks like a rare bird to me!
Hi Dave, That a good one. The background adds an interesting and unusual pattern to the composition. I like it.
Well, I have been doing NO photography lately. So, I have had nothing to share. Last night was my monthly photo Club gathering. We are now up to 35 members, OH MY! And we are getting some talented shutter buggers too!
The challenge for this month was HDR. I was surprised that several photographers knew nothing about HDR captures and had to be informed of the process. Since I am a procrastinator, I ran out on Wednesday morning to the cemetery to grab several shots with different exposures to use PHOTOMATRIX to create the composition below. We were not supposed to cheat and just use one photo and change the exposure in POST to create an HDR image. The image was well received last night even though it was not real sharp. The three shots used to create the shot were hand-held. I have three other images from the meeting that I will share next week.
I know that you have seen this statue before, but I was pleased with this HDR version and did not want to show up empty handed.
My daughter and I are going up to the trailer for the weekend. We are excited to go to a BIG Annual Mid-Michigan Flea Market and Amish Quilt Auction on Saturday. The event started this morning. It should be fun to do. I hope to grab some photos but unfortunately will not be able to take photos of the Amish since the sect in our area has requested that we do not take photos of them. I will only be taking my phone into the event because I feel the camera would look too threatening to the participants.
