69 Feb 26 Comment There are so many unnatural distractions in a zoo environment that I tend to crop as close as possible. That would eliminate the flowery distractions on the right and the bright areas behind the macaque. Feb 10th
69 Feb 26 Comment When I am hand holding for a nature shot with a long lens, I set my speed at 1/2500 sec. Rule of thumb states that shutter speed should be at least one and a half times the focal length of the lens i.e. minimum 1/900secs. Then I use Auto ISO to make sure that the exposure is correct. I can reduce the noise later using Topaz Photo AI in photoshop. Feb 10th
69 Feb 26 Comment I love the interaction that you have captured here and the tight crop focuses our attention on their faces. A great nature story. Feb 10th
69 Feb 26 Comment Lovely portrait and you did a good job showing us the best part of this bird and eliminating the distractions. Feb 10th
69 Feb 26 Comment I love everything about this image. The position of the bird, the amount of dead space to fly into and the mood created by the snow.
I might have cropped a little off the bottom to make it more of a horizontal presentation, but that is a personal choice.		 Feb 10th
69 Feb 26 Comment Yes I also like the edited version which adds interest to the foreground without losing any detail in the sky. Feb 10th
69 Feb 26 Reply I always use Topaz Photo AI on all my nature shots. I tend to use a high shutter speed 1/2500 secs so the ISO is always high. The Topaz reduces the noise and adds some sharpening. Feb 10th
69 Feb 26 Reply Thank you for this information. We spent about 30 minutes watching this herd at the waterhole and observed many family encounters and interactions. Feb 10th
