Raptor in Flight HDR

Uploaded: December 13, 2012

Description

A former Editor's Pick re-done in HDR. The Grey-faced Buzzard Eagle photo was taken in Okinawa, Japan NOV 13, 2012. f/11 1/400 ISO 100 with a Pentax K5, tripod and Sigma 50-500 at 500mm. Using the original RAW file, I created three JPEGs. One at perfect exposure, a -2 exposure and a +2 exposure value. The three were then combined using Photomerge in Adobe Elements 8. I re-cropped, raising the bird higher in the scene, adjusted light and contrast and flipped the photo horizontally. Contest Category: Animals

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
