Took a trip to Circle B-Bar Reserve last month and caught this guy settling in to Thanksgiving dinner. It was a crazy thing to watch. He dropped that whale a few times before he managed to get it all down! Sony A6500; Sony 18-135.

Isn't that just amazing?! I love your pp on these, ML. Can you talk a little about how you achieved? You were dealing with tough lighting and these look super-duper.

Very nice series ML. The first image is a classic. Your Post Production renders subtle muted colors in harsh lighting. Not garish, not overcooked, but just enough to coax out the detail you need.

Thank Linda - the PP was a bit challenging due to the factors you mentioned. I created a preset in Topaz studio that included seven different adjustments, and then fine tuned each adjustment until it looked most like what i saw. It's actually a long series of shots . . . i believe we watched him struggle and finally accomplish this feat after about 5 full minutes. These 3 pretty much summed it up though! Thanks again for your kind words and interest!

Thanks! Sadly, it seems to take us a lot longer to work off!
