G'day

Here is a few more from my recent trip to sarasota.

Shane

Very,very, nice.

Harryb

Outstandingh shots Shane especially the first two. The color on the tri-color is off a tad, the heron is way too blue, tris are a slate grey.

Ric Grupe

Gotta go with Harry....those first two ARE outstanding! thumb

Great shots!! These four would make the whole trip for me! I can't stop looking at them.
Congrats!

Thanks for your response.

Harry I worked with the Tri-colored for quite awhile trying to get the color to what I know they should be (but maybe not what they were). Color correction, WB, LAB nothing worked, he would always turn blue, I can't remeber exactly what the color I seen when I shot him, but I do know the lighting was very unigue!

Could this be reflected light or something else? I like the shot but have had trouble getting a handle of the color of the bird. The water is exactly as I remember. So wouldn't the bird follow suit? Any suggestions?

Thanks for your input, Shane

I have had the same problem on some shots. Its the Nikon WB which tends to be on the cool side especially in mixed lighting. Thom Hogan found setting the Kelvin temperature higher got the best results.

In my post work I have had to use layer masks to color correct selected areas.
