Hummingbird (Graphic Novel filter)

Hummingbird in Flight (Redo) (Graphic Novel filter)

I had processed this image earlier with Photomatix and Photoshop Elements' Dry Brush filter. This time, I cropped the image in AuroraHDR (top image) and then used Photoshop Elements' Graphic Novel filter, layering together 4 graphic novel images (middle image), and then I added color (final image). Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Round Two on a Hummingbird (AuroraHDR, Graphic Novel filter, Dry Brush filter)

This hummingbird was on its way to my jelly feeder. When I processed the image a couple of years ago, I used the Dry Brush filter (last image in the list). This time around, I used Aurora HDR and the Graphic Novel filter on Photoshop Elements. 

Here is the cropped Aurora HDR image.

Here is the Photoshop edited Aurora image. 

Here is the Graphic Novel edit of the Aurora image. 

And the colorized version of the above image. 

Here is the old edit, the Dry Brush image that I posted a few years ago.

Hummingbird on a Wire (AuroraHDR, Graphic Novel filter)

I don't think this is the exact image that I used a couple of years ago, but it is one very like it. The hummingbird again is slightly out of focus, although it was sitting nice and still for me on the wire. Part of the problem was that I was shooting my camera through a closed window, so that there is some interference from the window glass. Nevertheless, you work with the conditions that you have to create the best image that you can, and this is what I got. The order: Aurora, Aurora edited in Photoshop, Graphic Novel filter, Colorized Graphic Novel filter. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Second Try at a Hummingbird (AuroraHDR, Graphic Novel filter)

When you're shooting anything fast with your camera (like a hummingbird,) you're likely to get blurry pictures (especially if you don't know what you're doing with things like shutter speed, etc.) So, here is a comparison of what I did with this hummingbird picture before (before AuroraHDR,) and after.

Before:

I think I edited this picture simply using Photoshop Elements, back in 2015. Here are the photos edited yesterday:

Aurora HDR (I cropped the image differently, using Aurora's crop function):

Here is the Photoshop Graphic Novel filter version:

And here is my favorite image of the set, the colorized graphic novel filter version:

Hummingbird on the Clothesline (Dry Brush Filter)

The hummingbird was hanging out on my clothesline, moving its head back and forth. It's a tiny but magnificent creature. Thanks for stopping by!

Hummingbird on the Feeder (Dry Brush Filter)

For what appears to be the third day in a row, I have found a hummingbird picture to post. What drew me to this photo was the view of the hummingbird's wings; this is one of those rare photos in which they are not moving. It was perched on the feeder, taking a rest perhaps. Thanks for stopping by!

Hummingbird on a Wire (Dry Brush Filter)

After spending some time at the feeder, the hummingbird came to rest on a cable wire that stretches across my yard. It offered one of those rare occasions where it holds still long enough to get a picture without blurry moving parts. Thanks for stopping by!

Hummingbird

The hummingbird is one of the trickiest birds for me to try to photograph, since its wings move so fast. Here, I was shooting at ISO-100 with an exposure time of 1/200 sec. (My exposure bias was set to -1 step.) This was one of many that I had shot at a speed shooting mode; this is the one where the wings came out the clearest. Thanks for stopping by!

Hummingbird in Flight (Dry Brush Filter)

I really liked the detail on the head/beak and the left wing of the hummingbird in this image, which I've posted with the dry brush filter added (above) and without the dry brush filter (below). (You'll notice that the right wing is a brown blur in this photo.)

Thanks for stopping by!

Ruby Throated Hummingbird (Dry Brush Filter)

I was pleased to see the ruby throat on this ruby-throated hummingbird. I keep trying to get my shutter speed high enough to get the wings crisp, but as you can see here, I'm not quite there yet. Nevertheless, I liked this picture well enough to post it for today's daily photo. Here's another one below that's closer:

Hummingbird

This is my first hummingbird. It's not the greatest picture, but it's the first where I've managed to catch the bird's image. It stopped at my oriole feeder, which apparently is also a hummingbird feeder. (I'll have to look into that...) Thanks for stopping by!
