With field guide portraits like this, it is usually best to leave 3-4 times as much room from the tip of the bird\u2019s bill (or in this case from the front of the bird\u2019s breast) to the frame edge than from the tip of the tail to the opposite frame edge.  In this image there is actually 11 times as much room from the front of the bird\u2019s breast to the frame edge than from the tip of the tail to the opposite frame edge.  Ideally I  should have moved the active sensor one or two sensors to the left of the central sensor but I was finding that in this low light\/low contrast situation that the central sensor was having an easier time AF-ing than any of the outer sensors.  <\/p>\n<p>Here, a big crop from the front would have put the bird\u2019s eyes near a Rule of Thirds spot but I liked all of the cliff face habitat so I pretty much left the image design as is. <\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>ngg_shortcode_1_placeholder<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=center>\n<p>This Galapagos Sea Lion pup was photographed with the hand held <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/973129-REG\/Canon_5176B002_EF_200_400mm_f_4L_IS.html\/BI\/6633\/KBID\/7226\/kw\/CA2004004IS\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xCA2004004IS\" target=\"_blank\">Canon EF 200-400mm f\/4L IS USM lens with Internal 1.4x Extender<\/a> (at 316mm) and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/827036-REG\/Canon_5253B002_EOS_1D_X_Digital_SLR.html\/BI\/6633\/KBID\/7226\/kw\/CAE1DX\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xCAE1DX\" target=\"_blank\">Canon EOS-1D X<\/a>).

If it was looking to my right and I kept the central sensor on the face, it would have yielded a nice field guide type portrait.  When the animal looked to my left, as in this image, a pleasing composition resulted with the animal on the right side of the frame looking to my left. I did lots of color balance work to remove the blue cast that resulted from the animal being in the shade: first I ran a 75% Average Blur Color Balance adjustment and then de-saturated the BLUE channel.  I executed a small crop for the right and below to tighten up the image design. <\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>ngg_shortcode_2_placeholder<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>This 3-frame in-camera Art Vivid HDR image was created with the hand held <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/397662-USA\/Canon_0344B002_24_105mm_f_4L_IS_EF.html\/BI\/6633\/KBID\/7226\/kw\/CA241054LIS\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xCA241054LIS\" target=\"_blank\">Canon 24-105mm f\/4L IS EF USM AF Lens<\/a>(at 47mm) and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/847545-REG\/Canon_5260B002_EOS_5D_Mark_III.html\/BI\/6633\/KBID\/7226\/kw\/CAE5D3\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xCAE5D3\" target=\"_blank\">Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital camera body<\/a>  ISO 1600.

With the 5D Mark III you can create HDR images in camera.  The result is a 61-mb JPEG.  Just be sure to open the JPEG and save it as a TIFF and you will not run into any image quality problems.  <\/p>\n<p>I love the look of the Art Vivid style as seen above here.  At times I use Natural.  For whatever reason, you need a lot more plus compensation when creating Art Vivid HDRs than when creating Natural HDRs.  I usually de-saturate the Art Vivid images about 10 points.  The one thing that I know for sure is that creating them is great fun.  <\/p>\n<p>Note that the auto-align feature on the 5D III does a great job of aligning the three images even when you are working from a gently rocking boat so long as you are not trying to use an excessively slow shutter speed.  You can, therefore, get away with hand holding in a variety of situations. <\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>ngg_shortcode_3_placeholder<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>This 3-frame in-camera Art Vivid HDR image was created with the hand held <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/397662-USA\/Canon_0344B002_24_105mm_f_4L_IS_EF.html\/BI\/6633\/KBID\/7226\/kw\/CA241054LIS\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xCA241054LIS\" target=\"_blank\">Canon 24-105mm f\/4L IS EF USM AF Lens<\/a>(at 47mm) and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/847545-REG\/Canon_5260B002_EOS_5D_Mark_III.html\/BI\/6633\/KBID\/7226\/kw\/CAE5D3\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xCAE5D3\" target=\"_blank\">Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital camera body<\/a>  ISO 1600.

Day 1 of the IPT will be  April 17, 2014. We will have a short afternoon get-together and then our first photographic session at the justly-famed Keukenhof.  Most days we will return to the hotel for lunch, image sharing and a break. On Day 8, April 24, we will enjoy both morning and afternoon photography sessions. <\/p>\n<p>The primary subjects will be tulips and orchids at Keukenhof and the spectacularly amazing tulip, hyacinth, and daffodil bulb fields around Lisse.  In addition we will spend one full day in Amsterdam. There will be optional visits the Van Gogh Museum in the morning and the Anne Frank House in the afternoon; there will be plenty of time for street photography as well.  And some great food.  On another day we will have a wonderful early dinner at Kinderdijk and then head out with our gear to photograph the windmills and possibly some birds for those who bring their longs lenses.  We will spend an afternoon in the lovely Dutch town of Edam where we will do some street photography and enjoy a superb dinner. All lodging, ground transportation, entry fees, and meals (from dinner on Day 1 through dinner on Day 8) are included. <\/p>\n<p>For those who will be bringing a big lens we will likely have an optional bird photography afternoon or two.  If we get lucky, the big attraction should be gorgeous Purple Herons in flight at a breeding marsh.  We would be photographing them from the roadside.  And we might be able to find a few Great-crested Grebes at a location near Keukenhof. <\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birdsasart-blog.com\/baa\/2013\/06\/17\/tulips-tulips-tulips\/\">here<\/a> for complete details and some previously unpublished images.
