i guess we should call it photobabble...hahahah
Well you are starting you day and I am ending mine. Catch up with you all in the morning. 10pm here now. Have a great day
Was trying to capture white on white without losing texture of eggshell.....used a daylight spotlight above and to the right.
Its' an uphill battle
Fred Ann you can always adjust he color after, (when you don't want to miss a shot) I'm surprised they let you get so close..
I hope you didn't mind me playing, please tell me not to if you do, but i tried to change the color the way i would have for myself... i basically took out some magenta and blue. Then toned down the outside edges of the photo (maybe a little too much)..
Have a great day, keep smiling.

HOW did you tone down the colors...what tool
or what sliders..you must be specific for us folks
who DONT KNOW HOW
Jim as usual your images are truly wonderful not many will realize how hard it is to shoot white on white and retain highlight and shadow detail, but i know what kind of technical nightmare this is... great job and beautiful image, and wonderful and amazing tonal range.. your the best! i'm guessing the white balance is the egg standing on end...

[b] I must ad Jim, that i realize that this is a straight shot, light and balanced perfectly, you are truly an artist, not only technically but creatively. I'm impressed... i wish i could shoot like you.

Ty Loquey....actually egg standing on end represents a balanced diet?
to tone down the edges i simply use a the paint bursh with black. i make the brush large with soft edges, I paint at a low percentage maybe 10 and keep going back to i get what i want... i when a little to far on this example. later i'll explain how to change the colors...

my new avatar shows why you should change the White Balance.. it was shot on daylight film under tungsten light, we use to tell the customers that it was candle light... LOL... we really did at weddings
you are too funny but that would be a better term.

No,Idon't mind, I still remember the beautiful 'yellow' you tinted my prom dress. Actually Iprefer my version of the feeding birds. I believe they were more true to the situation and held some nature richness and warmth. the red 'rufus colour' in the original,is important to maintain, as that is the true colouring of the sand on the ground and the feather colouring at the back of the bird. I did some pp on my photo ( sharpening and auto colour and contrast)before I had posted it., but "thank you"I always appreciate input from you and others and I am learning a lot from this forum .

That is one big baby. I am seeing this a lot this time of year. The newbies seem insatiable and continually flap their wings to show they are hungry. Good capture.
