Thanks Birdie! Our season's kinda start stop start around here, and vestiges of summer can bounce back in a mild fall to give some extra opportunities. That, and my ridiculously slow 🐌 post processing brings a little summer forward too, .
Wow what a set buddy! Loving the Woodies for sure, really dynamic.
#6 is a wicked capture!
#1 and #2 with little bugs hiding below is fun, great IF on #2!!
Looks like you weren't rusty and your processing is worth the effort You sound like my good friend John about processing but he is getting now to enjoy it ..... I think

Hi Karl, thanks for the specific's and kind comments.
Yeah, I have a love/hate thing going with post processing. I love working with a good shot where I see in my mind where I want to go with it, and it all works out. Fun stuff. But I swear I don't know how some people shoot those 30FPS sequences and cull it down from hundreds of identical looking shots to get that one shot that is fractionally better or positioned just right. I'd go mad. I'm lucky to get through a couple hundred shots total from a full day of shooting, never mind hundreds from a couple of bursts!!!
What I've started doing lately is using Sony's IEDT Viewer to preview the RAW's after I dump them to my PC, and I do a high-level culling from there and delete anything with missed focus or poor framing. Then I open small batches of 10 or 20 RAWS into Adobe Camera RAW, if all exposed similarly, I'll do a select all then apply similar tweaks to the whole batch, and fix any outliers individually, then cull some more and delete the extra "safety shots" and only keeping the best that responded well to tweaking, and pull those up into Photoshop directly from ACR to do the final edits and save into other formats from there. With Topaz avail as a PS plug in, saving time from hopping out of PS totally to work on it.
Doing it this way has helped "some" with my hate for doing PP... but I'd still rather be out in nature taking pic's. Probably because I'm in IT for a living, and PC time reminds me of work .
