Photo of the Day
I actually walked to this park today to get a picture of the changing leaves. I grabbed a couple of those, but I enjoyed my encounter with this crane enough that I thought I would make it the photo of the day. I played the waiting game with this crane until a jogger came by to spook him enough to move. When that happened I took my shot. I really have been having fun with some wildlife pictures since I picked up my new lens. They aren’t National Geographic quality, but they are better than what I have been taking.
Technical Data
This shot just required a small crop, and highlight and clarity adjustments. I have had fun doctoring some images lately, but I wanted this one to look close to what it actually was. The only adjustments made were ones to get it to how I saw it.
Kelby Worldwide Photowalk
Here is that part of the post where I talk about the photowalk that I am leading on campus after the Wisconsin game in October. The date is October 13th to be exact, and the walk will start at 4 o’clock est at the Neil Armstrong Statue in front of the Armstrong Hall of Engineering. Over 1,100 photowalks are planned around the world. If you are not near West Lafayette then you kind find a walk near you on the Kelby site. Sign up now to be part of this event. Over 22,000 walkers have already signed up so far. You don’t have to be a pro (I am far from it) to attend. Any kind of camera is welcome as well. Here are a few links to the various sites which promote the event. If you want to sign up you should do so on the Kelby site in order to be eligible for the prizes though.
