[quote=mgstrawn]I'm so sorry to be 'missing in action' most of the day. I started at 9:30 P.M. tonight to catch up where I left off (page 2!) when my husband and I left the campground with our camper to come home. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the submissions and the many stories of how those shots came about. I hope you all have had a wonderful Saturday; it has been an incredible fall day in Georgia, USA! I am setting my alarm clock for 3:00 A.M. Eastern Standard time to see the predicted meteor shower! Thank you all for taking the time to post and share!
Wasn't close to that there MOOSE! In the Car and telephotoed it
You bet!

After being gone for 2 days I have some catching up to do.....
I wanted to share this unexpected photo op that really made me happy. I was in the Badlands, the evening would soon be over, and I was following some of the wild horses along the road. They stopped and crossed the road and headed up a small hill. I quickly got out of my vehicle and headed up the hill after them. This one stopped for just a moment and then was off with the others. Then it soon was dark out, but I was happy!

JoeV Your photos are ALWAYS Wow! Do you use any post processing filters such as Topaz? I can see #3 in a frame on my wall! I missed a photo opp of a Blue Heron yesterday! Great capture.
What a nice thing to say. Sorry about my slow response time here.
I actually can't quite answer your question..I don't use Topaz filters...and I don't quite understand what the definition of a pp filter is, even though I looked it up. I tweak most of my better shots....usually between "a little" and "moderately" with the PhotoPaint application of Corel Graphics Suite X3. I will edit big time if I have too on occasion.
I wonder if part of the answer lies elsewhere. My camera...Canon T3i...has a variety of settings which I think are pretty standard...allowing me to select different modes of in-camera processing...e.g. "Landscape" and "Neutral" and several others. If I'm not sure of a shot, I will sometimes use both the Landcape mode and my personal default setting so I can pick the best.
There is also an automatic setting, with preset values for contrast, sharpness, and saturation. When I first got my camera, I customized this automatic setting, overriding the factory preset, to get the look I wanted. That may have something to do with whatever it is you are responding to.
And I always underexpose a little.
