This is another shot of the fall industry of the squirrels in our back yard. And yet another shot in less than ideal light. I don’t know what it is about our squirrels. They do not come out to play on sunny days?
Canon SX50HS. Program with auto iContrast and Shadow Fill. 2400mm equivalent field of view. f6.5 @ 1/160th @ ISO 320. Processed in Lightroom for intensity, clarity, and sharpness.
Love it!
I applied all my years of Photoshop to LR3 which pobrably isn’t a good idea – they are different, they do different things and it just frustrated me at first! I think arriving at LR3 without any preconceptions would be ideal. Although I’ve been a Photoshop user for donkeys years I hadn’t really used it for photo enhancement until last year, I’d been pottering around using it as a graphic design tool (Adobe Illustrator just baffles and infuriates me!).I learned everything about how to tweak, fix and enhance photos online. Everything. All for free. There’s a massive community of photographers out there who have already done the work and share all their expertise freely. I must gather all my favourite tutorials into a post and share what I like about them – why I think they work.
