The above scene frame is a working combination of two captures taken from the same place but within a ten minutes' interval from one another ... The Flamingos' shot was taken first, the clarity was fine but I was not particularly happy with the background ... The second shot was a 2s long exposure and it came later, when "alas" my approach to the scene made the flamingos' fly away ... Thank God we live at a wonderful digital era ...
This kind of processing places extra meaning to Ansel Adams's words ... "You don't take a shot ... you actually make it !!! '' ...
