Pygmy owls are small. Very small. And very cute. Even at a close distance with 840mm, this little lady still doesn’t take up the whole frame. Shooting in the rain is fantastic. If you’re not doing it, get out and give it a try. Just cover your gear (and yourself I suppose).

I posted a mono version of this image earlier and thought I would work up a color one. I added the sigh left of frame to enhance the urban feel of this nature preserve located in a suburb just outside Philly. The building is an old warehouse.

I used luminosity masking to blend 5 exposures. The silky water was from a 2 second exposure. Some color and sharpening was done in LS5.

Thanks for the look sees y’all.

The photo was taken at Lake Bled during the January trip. This is probably the best place to take pictures of lake bled. It was taken just after the sunrise. Though the sun is not in this picture as it was not visible from this point as you can see it is in the right part of the image behind those trees. Though I have captured the sunrise from another point. I like Max Rive’s work, so I tried to copy his style by putting human in the composition. Though it was not a self portrait. I am describing the processing technique in short

1) For the foreground (from the bottom to the mountain) I used 4 exposures and blended them using Tony Kuyper’s latest 16 bit Luminosity Masks and blend if sliders.

2) Next the sky. For the sky I used another exposure properly exposed for the sky only. Honestly the clouds were not trailing like this. I applied few additional blur filters in photoshop to get the surreal look.

3) Finally I use luminosity masks again for the local/global adjustment like tonal balance, color correction, burn/dodge and the contrast.

Enjoy it with a black background 🙂

Alba del primo giorno, non troppo fortunata visto il tempo… però la luce fredda del temporale mattutino mi ha dato la possibilità di ottenere un bel contrasto con i colori caldi del soggetto.
Il soggetto è stato illuminato lateralmente attraverso l’utilizzo di flash comandati in remoto.

Dawn of the first day, not too lucky having the time … but the cold light of morning time gave me a chance to get a nice contrast with the warm colors of the subject.
The subject has been illuminated laterally through the use of flash controlled remotely.
