What’s Up?<\/h3>\n

I went down to the lake for a bit this morning — Thursday 25 JUNE 2020. I created exactly one dozen images of the surviving Mother’s Day crane colt. All 12 images — made at 1200mm — were super-sharp and featured perfect exposures. Working with RawDigger has made it relatively easy to expose to the right to the max, thus reducing noise. <\/p>\n

Those who take the time to follow the BPN links to today’s four featured image and read the threads, will learn a ton. Aside from the great photography and the overwhelmingly excellent critiques, folks can read between the lines to learn even more. There are some folks on BPN who feel that if they do not offer at least one negative or one suggestion for improvement that they are not providing a good critique. When I come across such comments, either on my images or the images of others, I will speak up and push back …<\/p>\n

If you are not too busy, please leave a comment and let us know which of these four excellent images is your personal favorite and why you made your choice.<\/p>\n

As you enjoy today’s post, don’t forget that good photograpers make good images!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
