battle of the titans

I just thought this one was pretty cool as I was going over what I'd shot during the break. I didn't have to do much editing on it at all, just a little bump with some saturation and a slight change to the contrast. I really like the way the point of action at Skua's throat is the focal point, the eye is drawn to it as the sharpest point of the photo. The blur makes the action seem that much more intense.

Well, I recieved at least one complaint while I was home that I hadn't posted anything on here
for a while. My only explanation is this: I didn't have anything to post. I hadn't shot anything new in a long while. But I got some stuff to work with over spring break and I guess we'll see how it goes. This photo is of a new member of the family I met a couple days ago. Tucker is a little sweetheart to people, but I'm sure the other dogs would disagree. Anyhow, this is my work for the day and there should be more coming soon.

Alright, this may actually be the last of the raptor pics. I know, I know...you all want more but if the decent weather holds out tomorrow I'm going to make myself get out and shoot something new. This is a bird that has already shown up at least once so far, but I thought it would be interesting to produce a finalized picture of her along with the raptor program stamp. If you look hard at the stamp in the lower left corner you should be able to see that this is the photo from which it originates.
