Fascinating pictures on this site of KrugerExplorer. I admire these photographers. For me patience is not a problem but I'm probably not tough enough:) Henk Op 2020-05-03 om 08:08 schreef Alan C: Thanks, Henk I have too many things to do. Don't have that sort of patience. I just take my

Alan. great shot and beautiful bird. Reading stories of professional nature photographers like Frans Lanting and Mort Hilmer, a few hours waiting for a picture is peanuts! Henk Op 2020-05-02 om 21:09 schreef Alan C: I adjusted the levels a bit which may have had an effect on the saturation

Re: PESO: Green Wood Pigeon

I adjusted the levels a bit which may have had an effect on the saturation but the colours look pretty true to me.. A bit of motion blur on the beak. I need to have a hide on the garage roof so I can be within a few metres. The only problem is I may have to wait for hours. I have a two week

Re: PESO: Green Wood Pigeon

I'd call it pretty good, though despite the motion blur... one glaring thingy that you could fix..the dead blossom right behind the bird's head really jumps out... clear to see why green birdy likes that tree .. he looks like he is part of it ann On 4/15/2018 11:13 AM, Alan C wrote: Not the
