Pelican on Liquid Glass

Fuji S5500: 1/500sec @ f/3.6, +0.3 EC, ISO 100, high resolution .jpg, hand held.
Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3 for the most minimal tweaking.

I have found that even though Pelicans have been and continue to be shot to death around the world – photographically speaking – they still make good subjects but I always try to look for that something “different”. 8-)

Dennis, When you have completed your wild flower collection, please take some nautical shots like this….........I love this one, and you are so good at it. As they say, “It is candy for the eyes”! Sue
Dennis Gay replied
G’day again Sue,
Thank you very much for your most kind and flattering remarks. I am so glad you are enjoying my work.
While most of my wildflower shots are seasonal, my nautical shots are from my backlog, most of which were shot using my old Fuji S5500 and in high resolution jpg. Since I obtained my Lightroom 1.1 and PSCS3 programs I have been able to do these photographs justice and present them on RB to break up my ever growing wildflower collection.
So as they say, “Watch this space!” 8-)
