This week I took another trip to Sheppey trying to see Golden and Grey Plovers and hopefully Short Eared Owls.
Unfortunately for me, I didn't manage to see any of the above, but I did get a rather nice image of a Stonechat.
Although I was dissappointed with not seeing my target species, I did get the chance to watch several Marsh Harriers that were hunting, but staying tantalisingly out of range of my camera (I really must bolt that 2x on at some point and get practising).
I'm quite happy with this image and more particulary, the processing - having read Dave Courtney's piece on the adjustment brush on LR2, I used it for the first time today to selectively saturate, lighten and sharpen this image whilst in RAW. Normally I would do that to the .JPEG in CS3 after exporting, so I will certainly be using this as part of my process in future.
I could never get the layers and masks thing, and LR makes this so easy...........cheers Dave. Another thing learned !
