Last Photo of 2009

Pentax K7 w/ smc DA*60-250mm
I took the day off from work; spent some time at the zoo on the last day of 2009.
Shutter speed on this image was 1/160s at f/4.0 iso400; focal length 220mm. In addition to my “normal post-processing” (minor curves and a bit of saturation) the PP on this image also included noise reduction with NIK Define 2.0, contrast and saturation enhancement with NIK Viveza 2.0, and RAW and Display sharpening with NIK Sharpener Pro 3.0. The new versions of the NIK plug-ins are quite nice and have a consistent and integrated interface.
It’s been a great year! I’m looking forward to an even better 2010 with lots and lots of photo ops!!! Happy New Year to all!!!
