This image was cropped, enhanced, framed and Neat Image was used.
The orginal was approx. 1 to 2 f stops under exposed as I was trying to
keep my DOF plus it was in the shade in late afternoon. I shot this at about 8 to 9 feet
away and the fill flash was not strong enough (Canon 380ex) to to keep the aperture at
f.11 @ 1/1000 sec. I have since upgraded to a stronger Canon 550ex flash .
I was truly dissappointed when I got the image back into the computer as I knew it
was a good capture of this hummer. It was so under exposed. So good ol Photoshop 7
saved the day. After alot of playing with the image I came up with this one that I'm happy
with.
