I met my good friend Lil Judd at the Los Angeles Arboretum this past Saturday -- and we had a blast. The birds were out in force, but what we really wanted to see were the resident Wood and Mandarin Ducks. The Mandarin proved somewhat elusive, but Mr. Wood Duck -- actually, at least 3 -- proved very amenable to having a 500 f4 stuck in front of them. All shots taken with the 7D and 500 f4 (Mark I ) on the BushHawk, ISO 200, and processed using my MacBook Pro laptop (my PC is having conniptions) and Canon DPP, then tweaked in Photoshop Elements 9; this will be the setup I'll be using during my 2013-? Life On The Road Tour, starting next May. Questions, comments, critiques and general mayhem welcome.
Best Wishes,
Steve
