Oakman58 Posted August 9, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 9, 2019 A lousy photo becomes more interesting, but still lousy. As we cruised into Glacier Bay National Park in the early morning I was on our balcony having coffee and looking for wildlife. One of the distant rock islands we passed had a rocky outcropping that looked interesting. Looking through my binoculars I spotted a couple of seals on that outcropping so I grabbed my camera, zoomed in and took a few pictures. Because of the early morning light, the fact that the camera was fully zoomed (50X), and I was on a moving ship, the three pictures I took didn't turn out the way I wanted. I considered the pictures to be throwaways. My biggest excuse for not getting a good photo is I hadn't even finished my first cup of coffee. I don't function properly until my 3rd cup. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. 😁 This morning I decided to see if I could make the picture of those two seals look a little better using my photo editor. What I discovered was I had taken a photo of a lot of seals, they were sleeping on the rocks in the background. What a surprise. Because of the early morning light and how far away the island was I didn't notice those sleeping seals in the background with either the binoculars or my camera. Here are the before and after pictures. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ski ww Posted August 9, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Pretty good. It's amazing how high up on the rocks they can climb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldsc Posted August 10, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I would say that the new photo is less lousy but it certainly is not good. If it was mine, I would delete it unless it is the only photo of seals on rocks that you have. That said, I would like to see a histogram of the photo. You might be able to get a bit more detail as it is usually easier to get detail out of underexposed photos than overexposed ones. Give it a try.
