So a few days ago Guy calls me to tell me we have a new visitor who looks like he is going to stay for a while and he sends me this picture. Yes this young man/lady has learned to leap from the porch to the finch feeder, turn upside down so as to hold on and enjoy a tasty meal.He is so comfortable that I was able to walk all the way up to the window and video him.
The feeder, it gets moved ASAP says Guy.
This beautiful butterfly was just hanging out until he finally took a break on the tractor while I had my camera in hand
.
I took this while riding over a bridge in the Northern Neck a few weeks ago. I just thought the clouds looked cool over the bridge. It was just an ordinary shot though so I was wanting to try something new with it so I opened up the Lightroom 5 develop module, dropped the exposure and then activated the all new radial filter. From there I brushed over the circular mirror to highlight the bridge and clouds and reset the expose in the circle to its original setting, then I set the feather to 65% to ensure a smooth transition and that was it. It literally took less than one minute to make the adjustment. I think it’s such a cool effect. Not something you can use all the time, but with the right shot it can be lots of fun.
Have a great day.
