69 Jan 20 Reply Hi Candy,
I reworked this picture. To emphasize the animal and blurr the background further, I used the brush tool (with a broad feathering) around this young buck and decreased the contrast, clarity, sharpness, and highlights.		 Jan 19th

69 Jan 20 Comment Hi Jacob,
You always surprise me with your iPhone pictures. Nice capture. I agree with the suggestions from Mervyn.
As mentioned, it would be nice to get more details. We are all learning the names of plants and animals!
Once using a "standard" camera I am always interested to have the precise set up (camera type, lens set, f stop, speed, etc....)
Nice job.		 Jan 10th
69 Jan 20 Reply Thanks for these comments.
No, I did not use a flash.		 Jan 10th
69 Jan 20 Reply Thanks for the tip. I also realized that I spelled undulating in French) Jan 6th
69 Jan 20 Comment This is such a cool canyon!
Very nice capture with ondulating shadows. I love the "sand"fall.
What time was this? You were able to get there before any other photographers!
Keep up the nice work.

69 Jan 20 Reply Now I realized that I could have saved, and even improved, several of my picts! Jan 6th
69 Jan 20 Reply Thanks Dean. This what I was aiming for. Jan 6th
69 Jan 20 Reply There is a nice nature preserve just South of Buffalo, New York. Plenty of White-tailed deer. Buffalo is also on a migratory path for several ducks and warblers. Jan 6th
69 Jan 20 Comment Nice and sharp Gannet in flight. Nice light. What did you do to the background? I am not sure that the worked version is that different from the original.
I used the brush tool of LightRoom, decreasing clarity and sharpness to the background in an attempt to focus more on the bird.		 Jan 2nd
69 Jan 20 Comment Very nice! This is a big fish for an Osprey. Excellent capture. Very nice touch with the change of background.

I am wondering if there is a little too much sharpening. To me, it looks a little bit artificial.		 Jan 2nd
69 Jan 20 Comment I love these Frigate birds. I saw them in Florida several times but not in Belize. While you were there, did you to to the Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary in the middle of Belize? If I remember properly (several years ago) they had 5 different types of KingFishers, 2 types of TV, Jabiru Storks, etc.....
Very nice capture. Very crisp!
I love the added starburst effect. How did you do this?		 Jan 2nd
69 Jan 20 Comment Lovely. So peaceful! Good color tones. Good depth of field.
In summary: nice results with a phone. 		Jan 2nd

70 Jan 20 Reply Hi Todd,
On the Lumix G9, the shutter speed is 60 frames per sec on each burst (unless the exposure per frame is longer!). This minimizes the motion between the superposed frames (holding my breath!). I also use the vertical and horizontal guidelines to minimize distortion. In low light conditions, one needs to use a tripod.
For perfect alignment, I use a tripod with Gimbal head.		 Jan 19th
70 Jan 20 Reply Thanks for these very nice comments. Jan 19th
70 Jan 20 Reply Hi Kathryn,
To avoid getting "gray" snow, I normally overexpose by 2/3 to 1 full stop.
(3 or 5 bracketed images with 1 stop between each step and the middle one is 2/3 to 1 stop above the "0" mark).		 Jan 19th
70 Jan 20 Reply Hi Judy,
I think that you would have been better to take multiple vertical pictures and then make your pano (5 or 6 picts). After you stitch them you can delete what you do not want on the top and bottom - giving you more latitude.		 Jan 10th
70 Jan 20 Comment Wow, I love it. Such a magical light! The play of lights and shadows accentuate the details. I would have like to see a bit more image on the right side.
Fantastic.		 Jan 10th
70 Jan 20 Comment Interesting. This tree looks a bit like a cauliflower!
I found somewhat surprising to have a fairly clear background considering the f stop at only 1.4! The details in the foreground are great. Almost looked like the edges were retouched. Were you using the dehazing and/or sharpening tool? If so, I personally would tone it down a bit.
Nice work.		 Jan 10th
70 Jan 20 Reply Thanks Lamar. I also like this picture much better! Jan 10th
70 Jan 20 Reply Thanks for these nice comments. I was on a road at the end of a canal. Jan 10th
70 Jan 20 Comment Nice. I do not have any experience with drones.
Nice ondulating beach and wave lines.
Could you have changed your f/stop "on the fly" to improve your depth of field?
I think that you need to be careful on the edge of a beach with a hill like this - I would be concerned of possible ascending winds....		 Jan 6th
70 Jan 20 Comment Very nicely done. Seamless pano and no obvious distortion. I would have preferred having a little more room on the top as the top horizontal slab is touching the frame on the right side. Jan 6th
70 Jan 20 Comment Really nice. I love all the changes in directions of these turbulent water flows. Nice silky water, still preserving flow lines.
Did you get wet? It looks like you were in the river with your tripod (unless you were on the other shore and cropped the bottom to give the impression of being in the water).

Were you looking for Gollum? or the ring?		 Jan 6th
70 Jan 20 Comment Nice orange hour colors from either the sunrise or the sunset. Pretty mirror images on calm water. These Swans are so elegant!
Nice.
