Eastern Rosella

Siberian Tiger

A trip to the Buffalo zoo today was productive. I got some great shots and will be posting them here as soon as I get them processed.

Just monkeying around with some older zoo pictures. I will be going to the Buffalo zoo soon and I want to do so animal studies in depth this year. So I am brushing up on my process here. I really like the way Aurora HDR Pro handles these files better than ACR does.

King of Beasts

Lion, iso 800, f-5 @ 1/160th, -1.3 exposure comp. 400mm. Not my usual method of post processing because I used way too many software programs and way too much time doing it. Adobe Camera Raw > Photoshop CC > Aurora HDR Pro > Photoshop CC > Light Zone > Photoshop CC. one hour of time. Although the finished product is nice I am not convinced its reasonable to spend this amount of time on one image. Anyone else have thoughts on this?
