The Armadillo is the Texas State animal, and dead Armadillos tragically litter rural highways throughout the state. This strange looking creature has poor vision and is one of the few animals that can contract leprosy.

New digital camera and new software. My first try with Photomatix. Unfortunately, I had already made the raw nef file unusable for Photomatix editing in CaptureNX and had to create multiple exposures in Photoshop by manipulating curves --limiting my control over the image. Photomatix will read a Nikon nef file adjusted in CaptureNX as long as only base RAW changes have been made. I discovered this too late.
