I shot this little guy a while ago on our local golf course. He was buzzing around stealing olives for quite some time before he came close enough.


The main reason for uploading this shot was to test whether the EXIF data is now working again. Sorry it's taken a while to fix it, it suddenly dawned on me that it stopped working at the time we moved servers. The reason was that the new server did not have a little bit of software needed to read the EXIF called jhead. I have now installed it and things are working again. Unfortunately it was the storage of the data that wasn't working rather than the display. So there is no EXIF stored for the photos uploaded in the last few months. But the good news is that it will be stored and displayed on all new photos uploaded from now on. (He said hopefully)

Beautiful shot. Even the olive is sharp.
Have you corrected this in photoshop specially the background?

All my shots get a little bit of work in Photoshop, cropping, contrast, color correction etc. But other than that no, nothing special. Certainly no cloning or retouching that I can remember. The background is just a natural result of a long lens (200mm with x2 converter) and a small subject.
