Nice catches, especially the Hooded Merganser and the Wood Duck (I've seen just one of those around here in SoCal lately)...

I've been framing and printing my stuff for alot of years...I'd like to say it (the process) is getting easier, haha, BUT oh you know. I did these two together, same size frame-mat-print so it was easier *that* way. You can see the frames are finished differently, as are the mats, and the prints are matte and baryta papers respectively. First is in Santa Ana, CA while I'm futzing around during a monthly Art Walk...and, yes, I actually tilted the camera, lol. Second is taken on the stage at Fresno High School a few years ago, I'm a performer but obviousely behind the camera for the shot (the guy directing is the client). Santa Ana Askew and The Rehearsal both 32x16...BTW, very traditional in the print/mount/mat/frame but I really can't stand glass over artwork, of course especially mine, so I use non-glare plexi which is pricey, but not to the degree of museum glass. Next time you stand in front of a piece and it's behind glass, check your eyeliner or whiskers cuz you can see 'em, haha...

To add to your query this is the LUT. If you choose one and it does not suit you, you can revert to the original image. If the color or colors are too intense, Topaz Clarity will adjust tone, saturation, and luminosity.

Note that the "Default" image far left gives what shade of gray/blackness will be what color. This program will also be useful in work with IR when the 720 nm filter is used resulting in shades of gray.

Be aware that ON1 Effects a Plugin is free program til January 29 2024.
https://www.on1.com/products/effects/

They offer additional presets for $20 but there are free ones:

...did you install those LUT's into ON1? Thanks for the tip for ON1 Effects, I've been getting my feet wet in ON1 for my infrared work...so thanks for the content! BTW, as always super interesting work!!!

Great sequence shots. Would you mind sharing the focus mode you used?


...for this I was in auto-area in the "bird" focus mode. Camera is a Z9 and when your subject is relatively isolated, once it grabs it doesn't let go as long as the bird
stays in the frame. As you can see, I had to pan down as fast as the bird was diving. Oh, just in case I have my back button set for 3D...I'm back to half-press
after years of BBF! Lens was the 100-400 Z ...

My app tells me "American Goldfinch"...the app is "Picture Bird" and can be found in your Play Store (android) and I'm sure there's an Apple version. I pay for it yearly, but I love the immediacy and it really helps me as a neophyte "birder"...
