Luke W Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 t(AD)pole that bug picture is great... gross... but great!! Thanks Rugers.... We can all hope one day get to Vickie's and LukeW photographic standard. :cool: Your first and third lizard shots are better than mine!

rocco Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Just crank up the saturation in photoshop - voila I think you are being too kind. But in all honesty how much saturation is too much saturation? I am always scared of over saturating like a subway worker with a mayonnaise bottle.

t(AD)pole Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Wow there are some fantastic pics in here! I love those lizards. I hope insects count 'cause I don't have many other wildlife shots.. too many dog photos :laugh: (this is very old too- took it back in Jan) Wayyyyy too creepy ! Wuss :cool: Those little critters were everywhere ! On some walks (Mt. Buffalo in summer) the branches were over grown and the grubs were literally hanging off every leaf. A bit creepy but very fascinating- just wish I had my macro lens back then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in all honesty how much saturation is too much saturation? I am always scared of over saturating like a subway worker with a mayonnaise bottle. I was a bit tongue in cheek about saturation. It's really about curves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripley Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) Wow, some lovely shots in this thread. I need to upload a few different ones from my computer as I'm slack and haven't done anything and they are just lying on my portable drive. If I didn't work 5 days a week, I'm sure I'd have more time. Here are 2 photos of wild birds I've put up before so apologies for people who have seen them, but they are all I have on 'puter so far. Mute swan Male chaffinch ETA: I have a blue tit shot at home, will post that up tonight. Edited December 18, 2008 by Ripley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezzyr Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 OK, just for something different here are some flying birds First up Australasian Gannet (I was very fortunate to get fairly close views of a colony and hope to visit again soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthless Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) Chezzyr, what kind of lens do you use to capture flying birds? [Don't worry, I won't be rushing out to buy one, just curious ] ETA I looked through the link in your sig recently, there's some stunners in there Edited December 18, 2008 by ruthless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chezzyr Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Ruthless (thanks) - unable to give specifics but I can tell you I use focal lengths mostly between 200mm and 400mm for wild bird photography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripley Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) Can certain cows clarify as wildlife?? I've seen some cow shots in a landscape/wildlife magazine I buy. Silly moo Wild flamingos (took this when I had the 'soft' kit lens with a 350D) Lastly, some really old shots of wildlife in their natural habitat from 10 years back taken with a Canon Film SLR. Some of the shots are fading now with age. Cormorants roosting on a lake. Waterbuck Elephants by a waterhole Edited December 18, 2008 by Ripley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
