Found Still Life<\/h4>\n

Another shot grabbed in passing during the rush of the World Series of Birding. Grabbed<\/em> is, of course, an misnomer. There is a state you get too in your photography where a lot can happen in the second it takes to frame and shoot. A whole set of complex decisions are compressed so tightly that it feels like instinct or reflex. See photo, shoot photo. Move on.<\/em> It can happen in a second, and in the middle of doing something else altogether\u2026like documenting the World Series of Birding. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I liked the big leaves. I liked the yellow flowers. Then I saw them against the fallen log with the vines. I saw what the light was doing. I stepped off the side of the camp road, zoomed in a bit for framing, and shot. <\/p>\n

Canon SX20IS at 112mm equivalent. F4.5 @ 1\/13th @ ISO 200. Landscape program.<\/p>\n

In Lighroom, a touch of Fill Light and Blackpoint just right. Added Clarity and a very small amount of Vibrance. Sharpen landscape preset.<\/p>\n

From World Series of Birding 2010<\/a>.<\/p>\n
