"Aren't those photos great Napoleon?"

Although I really don't like shooting indoors, I like the way this shot came out.
This photo was taken Thanksgiving day at ISO1600,using an Canon XTi with the built in flash,then processed using a very cool Lightroom black and white preset I found this morning. The preset was developed to emulate Kodak TMax 400 black & white film.
A whole set of these black & white presets for Lightroom can be found here.

I never did find a noise preset I was looking for to begin with !

I hunt with a Canon

It's that time of year again. The 1st snow has made it's appearance around these parts,and hunters have taken to the woods,in search of Whitetail Deer. Some of my favorite places to shoot,which were quiet a few weeks back,will be invaded by the folks in camo & orange. The lead will fly. Although I don't oppose hunting,I am particularly leary of those hunting public land. I remember a few years back,a few lads from Long Island shot a cow hunting Whitetail deer. Yes,a cow. Somehow I don't see the resemblance. For the 1st time ever,I might be in the market for a blaze orange winter hat.Here's a whitetail I "shot" with my Canon this past March. A survivor of the hunting season. Must have blended in with the cows........
