67 Mar 18 Comment L'effet d'étoile est causé par le diaphragme presque fermé. Il aurait été possible de faire "disparaitre" les piétons en augmentant le temps d'exposition - utilisation d'un filtre ND.
Il me semble que le focus est un peu flou malgré le f stop élevé. La mise au point est plus facile en utilisant le mode "live view" ou une mise au point manuelle ulilisant l'hyperfocale (point de foyer au 1/3 de la zone la plus éloignée de la caméra). Il est aussi possible que ce "flou" provient de vibration du trépied. Idéalement, l'utilisation d'un trépied solide, l'ajout d'un poid et de minimiser la hauteur du trépied afin d'avoir uniquement les tiges les plus grosses aident la stabilisation. De plus, les coups de vents sont très difficile à prévoir mais le positionnement du trépied près d'un mur "coupe vent" est utile.

67 Mar 18 Comment Bonnes lignes de composition. Est-ce une transformation monochrome d'une photographie prise en couleur?
J'aime bien l'effet global. Personellement, j'aimerais d'avantage en couleur mais le ciel couvert est probablement responsable de l'atmosphère.

67 Mar 18 Comment J'aime bien le résultat. Trés artistique - semble à demi photographique - demi peinture. Excellent travail utilisant Photoshop.
Bravo!		 Mar 6th

69 Mar 18 Reply Hi Rob,
No, unfortunately I have not seen the Barrow's Goldeneye. If you are interested I have posted a male Long Tail Duck on PSA group 67.		 Mar 12th
69 Mar 18 Comment The smaller the bird, the faster they move, the more they hide.... all factors making these guys difficult to capture. At the same time a good capture is very memorable.

Great job in catching it. 		Mar 6th
69 Mar 18 Comment Nice capture. It would be very nice to have more information such as equipment used, tripod or not, treatment done to the image, etc... Mar 6th
69 Mar 18 Comment Nice capture. Her neck is fairly dark brown instead of the light brown that I expect, but this because she is wet. It looks like that she also has mating colors around her eyes.
Interesting behavior!
Great! 		Mar 6th
69 Mar 18 Comment Great job at hand holding. 1.6 sec!
Smooth water effect.
I agree with Donna that the image is a bit flat.
Without a tripod, one could try the following: Camera stabilized on a solid surface - mirror lock/timed shutter release (minimal 2 sec) - hope for the absence of any wind (looking at the leafs in the foreground, there was not much wind at that time.

69 Mar 18 Comment Nicely captured moment. Good exposure and sharp details. No wonder these birds were hunted for their feathers!
Great!		 Mar 6th

70 Mar 18 Reply I am traveling and can't get to my original files from here. If I need to bracket due to light range, I normally bracket 3 captures at -1.66/0/+1.66 with the slower shutter speed at no less than 1/60 sec. On Canon, in the setting is for High speed shooting, there would be an automatic 3 quick shots for a 3 pick set up. Depending on lighting conditions, I frequently slide the selection so the "0" could be -1 or so. Once in Lightroom, I check the histograms when selecting 1, 2 or all 3 pictures. I will use a bracket of 5 pictures very rarely (extreme Bright and dark zones). Mar 15th
70 Mar 18 Comment Hi Frans, Welcome to PSA 70!
What a lovely capture. Nice lines, love the bright clothing colors, the little shed and even the wood bridges over the irrigation channels! The only improvement would be to reduce the cropping on the bottom and right side of the image (if possible) to get the full length of the palm trees.
Beautiful! Looking forward to see more of your pictures. 		Mar 6th
70 Mar 18 Comment Very nice. I love the cold air - very clean! Nice gradations of aqua tones in the glaciers. I like the crop suggested by Glen. Maybe a little brighter?

Just beautiful - Brings me back memories from Labrador (Canada) and Greenland.		 Mar 6th
70 Mar 18 Comment I love the energy and the color palette displayed in this wave collision. Nice catch of light!
I am not sure about the island. Either increasing the f-stop to capture everything in focus, or decrease the f-stop to completely blur the land.

70 Mar 18 Comment Very moody scene. I am not sure why the ASO and speed were so high. This high ASO can certainly affect the quality of the capture. Usually, 1/60 sec should be fine at that focal distance.
For me, the focus is more the arched trees over the road. I took the liberty of cropping it. It would be better to perform this on the original file!
Here it is:		 Mar 6th
70 Mar 18 Comment Very nice final result - very serene - relaxing. I believe that the adjustments are fine. I frequently ask myself the same questions. I think that my best judge is my spouse! Another way to decide is to do a large print and look at it on/off for several days and then decide!
Love it!		 Mar 6th
