Great effort on the lighting of the Jack-o-lantern.
I'm also really curious on the processing of the letters 'Happy Halloween', difficult?
Thank you.
The lettering was done in Affinity Photo. Which has a couple of tools for this that I do not think are in Photoshop. But made this very simple to do.
Affinity Photo, hmmm. Thanks. I'll research that if ever the need.
OK here's the captain motoring me around my lake. She does fine piloting the canoe until time to enter the slip on the dock...she's been known to run into the dock a couple of times so hold on haha!

This one from way way upstream, right at the point where the water becomes too shallow to navigate in the canoe. Poof the better-half captain'd the canoe so I could shoot.
Molson I did think to myself 'wish I had the a9 and 200600 with me'. Sure could have used the 600mm with the 1.4TC....but the pixel density of the Xt4 (same as the A7Riv) worked a charm for a huge crop. I was just lucky to have had some light on the KF.
And you know if the goal had been to get the KF as BIF then the a9 would have been a much better choice.

Am I on the one one who seldom, if ever, crops my bird and wildlife photos? Or rarely bothers with BIF photos since it's just an exercise in frustration (with any camera) in a heavily wooded area like where I live?

I was at Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge on Halloween for the evening magic hour. When I spotted the resident Merlin couple I decided I would try and get a photo of them with the full Moon in the image. I set up just as the sun was setting and some clouds moving in. Then the magic happened.
The moon rise was obscured by clouds yet I'm very happy with what did present.
All images Fuji X-T3 + Sigma 150-600 C + Fuji 1.4x TC and cropped from 1/4 frame and at high ISO and low shutter speeds
