I must be getting into my dotage. For some weird reason I can't remember
why I shouldn't comment on any Moose images. So anyhow here goes.
It's a wonderful shot of pelicans flying very close to a calm water surface in
order to get surface effect lift ( or whatever it's called), but ...
the shot doesn't look quite real. Almost a plastic effect. Is it perhaps over-
sharpened? I could not find any oversharpening halos.
Thinking back to when Khen Lim left working with AG Schnozz out of
disgust with all the negative vibes when the OMD 5 ( or whatever its moniker
is) first came out, and everybody seemed to be circling at about 40-foot pole
range. And now every other person has one. What a turn-around.
Mine hasn't arrived yet. Maybe some day I'll order one. :-)
More water has to flow under the ridge for me, I have to say. But I'm staying
tuned.
