Title: Action sequence in Bird photography
Post by: Michael Tam on January 13, 2012, 04:28:27 PM
In learning the art of photography, there is a saying called "follow the Masters".  It is with this humble heart that one can expand the visionary horizon.

In this article, one of the best-known nature photographers, George D. Lepp, shared his experience in the creation of an action sequence of a single crane in flight into an action sequence panorama.  There is much computer know-how involved to achieve this master-piece of art:
