Damsel

Yet another effort trying to find the correct positioning in order to secure a sharpe image. Easier said than done so any help would be appreciated.

Canon 1D3 Canon 180mm with ring flash. ISO 400 180mm F/16 1/300sec hand held.

I've just not figured out how to secure one of these using a tripod maybe wearing waders.

Critique, Comments and Advice most welcome.

Thanks for looking.

Am slightly curious as to how you've acquired a top-down shadow from a ring flash Barry - the whole point of a ring flash is that it stops this happening mate.

The image is a wee bit dark and muddy - it could do with a bit better processing.

Have another go, make it brighter in your LEVELS adjustment in PS - use the info panel to keep track of your whites values - try and keep them around the 250 to 252 mark in R,G and B.

Thanks the PS is the problem is this any better?

Much better. I think it's a great shot.

Still a tad 'contrasty' Barry but it's a million times better than it was

Damsy looks sharp enough and it looks like a male Azure by the way.

Hi Barry second one for me
