The new camera equipment is changing the way I process. More often than not, I just leave the image alone.

No added color, no noise reduction, no sharpening, very little of anything altered. The D850 is the ultimate point and shoot.

I processed this osprey shot this morning. I shot it wide open at ƒ2.8 but at 1/3200th of a second, extremely fast for a sitting bird.

The thing about sitting birds is they have a tendency to fly and that can catch you off guard.

Didn't make a lick of difference. And click on it and look closely, it froze the bugs flying around the raptor.

Remarkable.

Renee likes to tell me that it is no wonder I get good pictures, I have really good equipment. I cringe when she says this. Maybe she is right.
