2nd Place
'I'm Off!' by Neil Treloar AIMS...to come
Apparatus: Canon 7D Mk ll
Inspiration: My inspiration for these type of shots is to try and capture the wonderful sights of these bigger birds in flight and taking off from their position on the water. I have tried numerous times and most images are thrown away, but as this one, there is always one you love! I will keep on going until i achieve that one stunning shot!! Manipulation: I adjusted the exposure level in Photoshop raw and tweaked the contrast, highlights and saturation. I wanted to try and show the wonderful light on the face of the heron, I then had to bring the shadows out a fraction otherwise the whole image would have been too dark. I then sharpened the image to give the crispness. ENPRINT SELECTION Carried forward to enprint of the year Fiona Hillier x 2 |
3rd Place
'Mitzi' by Rita English AIMS...to come
Apparatus: Home studio & Canon 5D mk 111 Inspiration: I bought a new puppy to be a companion for my other dog and, as in the case with all young animals, found her irresistible and could hardly wait to photograph her. She was very patient and happily sat in an old hat for me to capture her appealing face. She was just 10 weeks old. Manipulation: The only manipulation was a quick clean up of some dirt smudges on the white background using Photoshop. HIGHLY COMMENDED Lyn Phillips: Am I Bovvered Trevor Golden: LeafLight Trevor Staff: A Drop in the Ocean Previous competition results can be viewed by accessing the links at the bottom of each competition page. |
