While out fishing last weekend, we came across a group of pelicans. The challenge was shooting with a 200mm lens (only!) on a rocking boat - not only is it difficult to get close enough to get a decent shot without the birds flying off, but the movement of the boat on the waves amplifies camera shake and thus compromises the clarity of the resulting photo in a major way. That's when Photoshop's sharpening feature comes in handy to recover at least some of the image sharpness. My Dad's friend tried hard to get close to the pelicans, and it was great to be able to see these beautiful birds through a zoom lens. The most fascinating shots, of course, result from the birds landing and taking off. Here is my best sequence shot of a pelican taking off.
