		<description><![CDATA[On the same snow day that we took the dogs for their romp in the snow, we also took them for a short walk around the nearby geese-filled pond. I had much better luck with the camera here. The images were much sharper. Using Lightroom&#8217;s auto white balance and tone features gave the images a sepia-like look. I liked the look, so kept it. Geese lined the pond&#8217;s edges, occasionally flocking to one side or the other in search for food. The snow covered banks reflected in the water, often giving the geese a nice white background. I took over a hundred photos at the pond and liked several. I cropped them a bit, as my zoom lens was not as long as I would have liked, and I used LR to create more contrast. I have included a few of the final images with this post. I did not capture the eyes of the birds as well as I would have liked. I should have closed the aperture a bit to widen the depth of focus. All in all, though, I like these shots. I look forward to the next snow day! If you find this post useful or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On a recent snow day, we took our dogs and the camera for an outing in one of the local dog parks. The pups are almost one year old, so this was their first real snow. The romp in the park was a real joy for them and fun for us to see. With the diffuse light and snowy backdrop, the camera was using very fast shutter speeds at all aperture settings. I thought this would help freeze (no pun intended) the action as the dogs never stop moving. Surprising, I had no such luck. All the photos of the dogs were quite blurry and the camera did not get a good exposure for the black dogs, despite spot metering. Most of these images had to be tossed and the rest heavily edited. This photo&#8217;s light levels were heavily manipulated in LR, but I liked the finished prodcut anyway. If you find this post useful or interesting, please consider buying me a cup of coffee.Related Posts:Snowy PondAnother Carrboro GooseVega in the Bucket (and in the Paper)Happy as a Pig in . . .Musings: Vision, Light &#038; Photography]]></description>
