no idea how he got here, metal painted slippery post!!

 

 

[David]

He probably parachuted in...mission impossible style lol. Nice captures, a little on the dark side again, but still great for straight out the camera shots

[Barbara]

Gerat captures...Shame they are a bit dark

[colinb]

liking the top one 

 

and as members keep mentioning they are dark, and to be fair they don't look bad on my monitor, I have looked at the levels which are a little bit off I would suggest if you are shooting in raw this is something easily corrected.

 

The top one is a lovely capture nice dof which makes the squirrel stand out from the back ground, I would maybe add a touch of sharpening when processing the raw file but I could live with it as it is, keep em' coming.

[Leon]

thanks again.

 

as I just posted in the birds one I cant do raw with wildlife a measily 1.5FPS in raw so they all jpeg, ill have a fiddle with them later.

[JohnP]

Maybe a tad dark but I like them anyway...... maybe it's a Flying Squirrel...

[NannyFerret]

I love them, and the background on the top one is fantastic.
You can lighten them very simply in Picasa if you don't want to do a lot of fiddling around.

ok then slight edits.

 

 

just shows more grainyness

lol, cheers Col!!

You only needed a tiny bit of lightening, Mr W. That was a bit too much. Pull some shadow back into it using the shadows slider and see what that looks like.

[NannyFerret]

All I did was to drag the shadows slider a little way across. I only did it quick to show you.

That's brought back the depth too Tina, all it needs is a touch of noise reduction (Dolby springs to mind! lol) and I think you are about there

Much better. I'm not sure I can see this extra graininess you speak of though - I'm nearly finished scanning my colour prints from years back, and those do show grain (but it's not ugly, in my opinion, compared to JPEG compression artefacts).

[NannyFerret]

I think Picasa is very under-rated and can be a very useful editing program.

I agree. It, and Apple's equivalent iPhoto, have both come on leaps and bounds since they were first introduced.

It may not be as grainy if Mr W edits the original shot, as I could only save the smaller pic from here.

does CS2 have a shadows slider???

[NannyFerret]

does CS2 have a shadows slider???

I don't know but Picasa does just a good a job. I have CS2 but rarely use it.

[colinb]

does CS2 have a shadows slider???

 

depends on what you mean by a shadows slider but in CS2 you can adjust almost every tone using levels, curves, shadow/highlights, exposure, gamma etc and on a jpeg.

Yes indeed - Shadows/Highlights is just one of the many Adjustment dialogues in Photoshop CS2.
