Hey all

Thanks for taking a look at my thread.

These are my favourites from the past couple of days.
All photos are taken in RAW.

1&2 Sundogs
F22
1/640
ISO100
Love the closeup of the clouds, made minor tweaks to saturation to bring the colour out a wee bit more on both images. Would like to see less clear sky between the sundog and the ground, too much "dead space".

Windblown turkey. I like the added interest in the feathers. Wish her head/kneck wasn't being shadowed by her body. Happy with the exposure otherwise. Need to work on my processing to really bring out the details in the feathers more.
F5.6
1/500
ISO320

4. Hubby and I went out for a drive and the road took a sharp right... straight ahead was this young man. Exposure to the left side and the fence doesn't thrill me.
F13
1/80
ISO100

I've never seen clouds like that! They're incredible! I like the second one better, but I know some people make a big deal about being able to see the ground...

Thanks! They are very neat, cold clear day with a few clouds is a good recipe for them

They're called iridescent clouds.

Never heard them called that, after some googling I see I've been calling them the wrong thing, thanks!

I like the clouds. Very nice colors!

Those turkeys are crafty, trying to get them just right will drive you nuts.

Crop that horse photo down and you'll lose some of the fence.

Hi Dave , thanks

Yes! While I was happy the first day that she parked herself between the railing slats up close to the deck so I had a very limited but clean shot of her she keeps going to the same spot ... Gotta get my ninja on I guess!

I tried a closer crop with the horse but didn't like it. I SO have to get our other computer fixed so I can start to use photoshop and learn that side of processing.
