Description Like a giant iceberg, this Tawny Frogmouth was unmoving and unflinching, only opening his eyes up long enough to see what I was up to with my camera.

Unfortunately I don't have a program to do it, and any attempts to do it manually have failed miserably. SO, until I own every lens I want, a top end dSLR, and an HDR program, I'll probably just be focusing on the eyes and hoping the depth of field works out.

Although, my brother in-law works at adobe, so maybe I can squeeze a Creative Suite 4 out of his wallet...

you could do it with your current equipment, you just need the right software
