The new camera arrived Wednesday and I've only had a short amount of time to try it out. It is going to be something else.
I found this friendly merganser at my favorite lake. The light was poor and the batteries in my flash gave out so I did the best that I could when she caught her fish. She chased it and brought it out covered with algae....thus the algae on her beak, hanging down, and on the fish. She shook it off to get most of the algae off. The fish is already half swallowed. There is a great deal of detail in the original but it's been hard getting this small version to show it without oversharpening....which I think I did. I'm limited with the Canon RAW converter at the moment (I use Mac) and do not like the new version. I'm finding the images somewhat soft but the color and saturation are wonderful. It's going to take me some time to figure out the best way to process them. I'm not crazy about how this one turned out but it's the best that I could do for now. Canon 1D Mark II, 500mmL IS, shot with towel on window of car ISO 400, f/11, ss 1/320, +2/3EV Photoshop: levels, USM, shadow/recovery tool, etc. Lana Hays
