The processing, mostly. I mean, it looks like you applied a Glow Edges filter to the antlers. It's pretty badly over-processed. What'd the original look like?

ExecuDork posted:Is it the HDR-esque processing on the photo, or the identification as a deer (cervid), or the pun that you object to? As soon as you pointed that out I started noticing it more and it started to bug me too. I toned it down a bit and fixed the cropping.

The best camera for taking a photo is the one you have on you. Nice shot.

Really loving these. Super expressive, especially the first two. I had a jaunt in Kenya/Tanzania earlier this year too, and I'm finally getting close to done slogging through the 30,000 odd shots from the trip. A saw a lot less action than InternetJunky (or a closeup rhino, ya' bastard  ), but I'm a lot happier with my shots than I was on my last trip, about 10 years ago. So... progress.I've been skewing more dramatic than documentary in my processing, lotta' xsuper moodyx black and whites. Hope it's not too egregious for y'all. Here're a couple:

I refuse to believe you don't have access to wildlife that would make the average North American or European photographer jump up and down and clap their hands like an overhyped child. Shoot the random birds that infest your neighbour's back yard, the rest of us will get all weirdly excited. And I like your cow shot.

Slavvy posted:Most of the birds I have access to are just sparrows and gulls etc because I live in the city. With the exception of House Sparrows (which are non-native but now live in and around nearly every human-settled city on earth) anything you post is going to be interesting to us. So, erm, take some more pictures and post 'em in the bird thread.  (also, if you start enjoying it you'll also start noticing other birds that live around you and you've just never paid attention to--I had no idea how many species of birds there were around my neighborhoods until I really started paying attention)

Gulls and sparrows - European House Sparrows aside - are like challenge mode for birders. Identifying most gulls and most (North American native) sparrows to species ranges from "welp, that's the only one with a big black spot there" to "gently caress you gently caress you gently caress you gently caress you gently caress you you goddam 3-way hybrid juvenile from hell!". Plus, regional variation piles up over large biogeographical distances, and NZ is on the other side of the Wallace Line. That puts you about 4 or 5 biogeographical provinces away from Europe, or 6 or 7 from North America - which means EVERYTHING is different. Even (especially) the Gulls and Sparrows. With the notable exception of Arctic Terns, those guys literally go everywhere. EDIT: I like House Sparrows, they have really interesting behaviours and they're so used to humans you can actually watch them do the crazy stuff they do.

Even separate from the processing (which I really enjoy and would love to know what you are doing) you seem to have a natural ability for finding expression and personality in your subjects.

Churchill is like cheating for polar bear pictures. Presumably you have some that weren't ruined by a big stupid watermark? Nobody's gonna steal your photos, dude, every pro wildlife photog has been to Churchill already. The internet is flooded with polar-bears-in-Churchill pictures. EDIT: InternetJunky posted:Elephants:
