Home Shutterbug Strasse

A photographer's haven for the lastest in digital or traditional film cameras.

In furthering or to help foster a new dialog here- Welcome

I took the liberty to photoshop your mating shot . In an effort to show another possiblity by a different shooter , side by side with you.

That other shooter might use a diferent lens and settings. Say an 80-200 f2.8 working aperature or even a more tele, like 300 f4 opening. This would cause the shallow focus, giving the effect of blurring some distracting elements within the scene . With the leaves out of focus , this would allow the viewers full attention onto those love birds.

I then would prefocus on the action awaiting for the right moment, adjusting my framing of-center for better composition.

When came time to print, I would dodge (lighten the feathers a little) and burn down (darken those white bright highlights, where white kills a scene faster than anything). Leaving all emphasis where it belongs just on the Doves.

This is certainly not the only treatment in capturing a good photo, but what I did fast to show you some alternative.

Show us more please, I know others here enjoy nature pix's
