Placieda Fishing pier

Michael Allen

Decided to stop by the pier while I was running around this morning, here are a couple that I came up with.







Thanks for looking, any comments are always welcome.

Some nice captures, Mike. I think I know those birds. What did you do for post processing? I might have pushed contrast a bit in PS and maybe toyed with curves/saturation/brightness a bit. Perhaps a bit of USM/sharpening? Could just be my monitor or eyes though. I like that last one. It's kind of like "Frick" 'n' "Frack" (big bird/little bird).

Nice bird in flight. I agree w birdman re contrast and stuff, but they are nice shots.

I do need to point out that a couple is two and you have three shots: that is several.

And, boy do I need a life!

Two types of birds..though. .. a couple of the great white egret...and one of the great blue heron. A couple (of bird) "shots". :uhoh

Thanks Mike and Ginger, I didn't touch curves just brightened up a touch and some croping.

I'll try to be more accurate next time Ginger.

Pretty good Mike. You handled some tough expsoures on there shots. I would try to give these shots some more "punch" in my post work.

what everyone else has already said, good stuff but needs a little "Hawaiian Punch"

Thanks for the comments, focus was a little soft but I think I improved the rest of it some. Can't seem to get the blue back to the water.



playing with curves is new to me so thoughts are welcome.
