The Last Light Of Summer

We spent the morning at Roxborough State Park, then decided to return before the park closed at 7pm
when we suspected we'd more likely to see some wildlife. Below is a shot of some Mule Deer we were
lucky enough to see. From our perspective this was the last light of summer, with autumn officially
with us tomorrow!!

I like the capture of the light and the intense colours!

I actually like the exposure you've got here. Vote. MOG??? I just pitty him! His noise is like an empty can and a sound of jealouseness.

Very nice send off to summer.

Looks beautiful to me. So long, Summer...

Beautiful light. Well captured. Leaving the shadowy foreground in mostly darkness perfectly emphasizes the light.

Excellent POV, Dave. Love the glow ~v

Very nice, Dave! Beautiful light.

Absolutely superb!! MOG certainly knows how to make friends and influence people, he talks through the top of his head or perhaps..... but no I'm too polite!!!

Guest		23-Sep-2007 12:34
For me, the exposure is rocking. V

Maybe Autumn will bring some nice light too..... I like the lightplay you tried here and the result looks good. So please MOG, were are your pictures......

Johnny JAG		23-Sep-2007 07:09
Very nice late light, I hope Autumn continues in the same vein. I can't wait for MOG to join Pbase so we can all see his wonderful work.

Thanks again MOG. Actually I do shoot in RAW and adding the two stops you've suggested kills this shot, bringing out pointless detail when the emphasis was the last light. With regard to the deer picture, it's not back focused, because if it was the back would be in focus and not the deer. The problem with the picture was very poor light, a slow shutter speed because of that, and the movement of the subject relative to the shutter speed. As I've stated previously, please make sure you know what you are talking about before sounding so confident.

One word (in the form of 12 words): Shoot in RAW and work the exposure problems out in post, dood. It's that, or learn more about _proper_ exposure and dynamic range. There is room for two or three stops in the sky and WAY too many in the foreground - it's a mess. The deer picture is back-focused, too...though cute. Your Friend, MOG
