Pic of the Day #568
April 9, 2008
Animals can be fun subjects for pictures.
This is Penny, Grace’s grandparents’ pet dog. That’s really all I have to say about her — I’m not really a dog person, and so while I enjoy taking pictures of them, I don’t dwell on their merits as much as I do with Cats.
Despite the overexposed sections, I had to shoot this picture at a high ISO, because while there was a fair bit of light coming in to the house, the angles at which it was coming in were not conducive to proper exposure. C’est la vie, I suppose.
Edit-wise, apart from the noise reduction required, I didn’t do all that much to this shot; I applied as much sharpening as I thought I could get away with, in addition to the normal calibration/Punch preset that I always use, and I have to say that I’m pleased at how much detail Lightroom was able to eke out of the scene; in particular, Penny’s fur retains a lot of fine detail.
