Gimme Your BEST Shot is a way for you to share your talent, creativity and (best of all) photos with the Nature Photography Community. But just like Show & Tell in school, you have to tell us HOW you made your image.
Camera (manufacturer and model), lens, EXIF data if possible, and any other info you care to share that demonstrates your ability to master the light!
Feel free to add your post production work flow as well. Your tip may be eligible for inclusion in my upcoming book on creative mastery in digital art and photography.
Email me if you are unsure about what EXIF data is - it's a tremendous tool for learning how to make better photos!
