For years I have been trying to photograph the Flamingo. I never liked any until yesterday. I was trying to find some shade when I saw the shadows that the flamingo had. I'm happy with this one.

D800 sigma 35mm 1.4 @f8 Only editing in LR i did was bring down the highlights a bit. I will play with this photo later with NIK.

Something humorous for today's post- he certainly has interesting form...

But his stability is questionable!

First time trying do an HDR image. I only had one image of this but used camera raw to create three
exposures then merged them.

Nothing new today so I had to dig into the archives. This was my first and only attempt to do a studio silhouette. Didn't work out the way I expected but was a happy accident.

... but grain can add a nice dream feel which is sometimes a nice departure from an ultrasmooth image. Really it depends upon the look you are going for and the feel you want to convey.

I've seen this a lot in high end fashion magazines like ELLE and Vanity Fair where the close-up photos likely taken with Phase One's and Hassys have added grain. Many well known retouchers like Natalia Taffarel add this to their work as well.

I wished I'd been able to try the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 for this session.
