Ice Bridges and Rainbows

A trip to the falls yesterday yielded this panorama of the American falls complete with rainbow and the ice bridge below it.

Photoshop CC has updated the selection tool and it's going to open up new worlds. They added a subject selection button which when pressed automatically selects the main subject. Works really well. I replaced the plain white background in this photo with a textured wood background and converted to B&W in like 2 minutes with this new feature.

It's all about the details with wildlife photos. I think it's because we aren't usually up close and personal with animals in the wild. So when we see one up close we notice all the beautiful details and think Wow.

Always keeping an eye on their surroundings, you don't sneek up on these guys.

Male Downy. Overcast day today. I have to push the camera a tad harder on these days to get the details right.

Pecker Series

Trying out some new strategy in post on my pecker series. I adjusted the shadows only white balance to 20% cooler than the rest of the original image. I like that it pulls up the details and adds more dimension to the birds shape.
