Project 365, Day 48. Duck!

Doug and I went down to the local goose swimming hole today.

Only to have Doug chase everything off. He's been doing that a lot with birds recently.

Oh well.

I was able to get a few shots of some ducks that I kinda liked.

The music seemed to be no help editing tonight. I played with the picture in post for quite a while, starting over at least three times.

Everything is brown here, it's hard to make that look interesting.

But I noted that the music seemed skewed to 80's pop music tonight.... Queen, Sammy Hagar, Men At Work, Prince...

That got me thinking...

I started over once again, sharpened the image, cropped it a bit and used a film emulation plug in. The filter simulates qualities that certain films used to produce. Old music...old shooting....shoot film!

So, tonight's picture what it would look like if I had shot Kodak Ektachrome 64 in my old Nikon F5 film body rather than my D700 DSLR.

Guess the music helped after all, huh?



Remember to click on the image once or twice to see it in a larger format!

Until tomorrow...!
