Take A Sip

I was pleased to get this swiftly flitting critter's eye in focus. Maybe because it slowed down enough to take a sip of nectar.

I am learning how to do gradient mapping in PS, which can really help the tones of an image.

Technically, by time, this date is the 4th year anniversary of my 365 journey, but I am going to wait until I get to 400% of my photos before celebrating properly. Amazing how time passes. :)

Thanks, as always, for visiting.

Did you get Blake’s Gradient corse? I did and am learning a bunch

Perfect timing in my book. I'm with @jgpittenger about Blake's courses. I joined his f/64 Elite group where you have access to any and all of them anytime.
