A Few Winter Animals

[aubintbay]

The city opened the local animal park for a weekend a couple of weeks back to see if there would be any interest in it this time of year....the place was packed. Went out for a bit a took a few pics with the xsi....something I have not done in a while. Still a great little camera. It was a nice sunny day hangin in around -15 or so and the animals were pretty much all just laying around soaking up some sun.

Bobcats


Arctic Fox


Coyote


Timberwolf

Smart critters. I'd just soak up the sun, too. I like the fox all curled up in the snow.

[Runmonty]

nice set.

The bobcats seem to be enjoying the sun. Nicely controlled exposure in shot 2.

Lovely set - really dig the fox. It's got a pretty strong blue cast though. I'd remove some of it (but not all) if it were mine.

[Lorey]

Yes, a very nice set indeed. I agree with Marko on the blue cast.

[aubintbay]

Thanks everyone! It was nice to see them in there winter coats.
Marko...I see what you mean on the blue cast. I don't know how I missed it because on second look it seems to be there in all of them to some extent.....brain fart? Here is a repost of the fox looking much better, all I did was change the white balance to shade.

Very nice set, and love that Arctic Fox with the blue cast corrected.

I really like the exposure of the Arctic Fox, white on white. I suppose the blue cast comes from the reflection of the sky on a clear sunny day?

[Mike Bons]

Nice series and the fox is my fav as well. I detest blue casts, so I would be more aggressive with it and remove all the blue cast.
