I posted this in April when I first joined. I had just started shooting and was very new to exposure theory (and still very much learningicon10.gif) so all these shots of an egret attacking a group of baby ducks were totally blown out. I tried to salvage them is PS today and I thought I'd post the result (cause I'm still sick and kinda bored).

Some of the white is still blown because for the most part you can't fix areas with no data (yes, I have read the tutorial on the "impossible touch up", but I'm not that bored todayicon10.gif...maybe later)

    That last one is really cool. I didn't even notice the blown spot, I was too busy trying to figure out the action.

    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
