On The Chase

Gallery: WildlifePosted July 3, 2011405 views4 comments

Another shot from our recent trip to the Canadian Rockies. This coyote was near the Tunnel Mountain Road near Banff one morning chasing ground squirrels. I primarily posted this because I've been exploring the higher ISO capabilities of the 7D to attempt photos that a few years ago I wouldn't have even considered. The early hour and overcast conditions made for terrible lighting but I think this came out OK despite the conditions. I adjusted the brightness 2-Stops post processing and applied NR and Sharpening rather liberally. Any suggestions for improving this further would be greatly appreciated....thanks!
