dan_south Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 <p>Here's a photo of some old friends!</p> <p>D700, 24-70 f/2.8G at 70mm, ISO 200, Daylight WB<br> Manual Exposure: 1/60 @ f/14. The Sekonic flash meter reading (1/60 @ f/16) looked a little dark so I opened up 1/3 stop.<br> Compact mono light kit with small umbrellas. If I'd had more powerful lights on hand I would have shot at f/22 for extra DOF.</p> <div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kohanmike Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 <p>Boy, these posts are filling up faster and faster. I did this product shot last week for a rustic furniture in Los Angeles. Hand carved bear and fish, it's really big, about 30" long. I wanted to include something to show the scale, but the client thought it would detract from the bear.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilkka_nissila Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 <p>Robert; great shot, how long does one have to wait to get a shot like that? :-) I would never have the patience for bird photography.</p> <p>Ray, nice composition and colours.</p> <p>Nick, that's beautiful! I'd really like to visit Niagara in the winter some day.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertbody Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 <p>Ilkka, it takes too long if you don't have the patience, and a lot less time if there are other birds flying in and out<br> - <a href="http://www.robertbody.com/2009-third">New Birds</a> -<br> That has a better sequence, in the last section from 2009-02-24 of Mating Stilts, I have seen the behavior several times but they aren't always in the best spot for photo<br> The bigger issue than patience (which i can provide) is focal length, this was with 300mm and cropped, but it's 500mm + 1.4X that is the proper focal length to use [with autofocus].</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wade_roth Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 <p>I've enjoyed the WedNEsDAy threads for a while but never posted. It's pretty intimidating with all the fantastics photos that show up here. I decided to give it a whirl this week.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertbody Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 <p>Wade, don't let it get intimidating, get some ideas for improving your photos....... and experiment</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamish_gray Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 <p>Richard, thank you. At the time of my shot there was only water in the pot, but soon to be coffee :-). I love your bird btw. Everything about it is good. I particularly like the complimentary color tones.<br />René, your idea that I was talking about was getting our children to publish their photos too.<br />Kent, I love your shot. It's like something from a science-fiction.<br />Gabe, thank you. Nice snowy scene. I see I am not the only one getting buried by the stuff.<br />Dieter, that is an amazing shot!<br />Jim, I love the tiger. I'm guessing there were some bars between the two of you ;-).<br />Lil, thanks! I haven't been able to see your shot yet. The picture doesn't show in my browser just now. I tried copying the url from it, but then I got a message saying 'zenfolio is offline, but will be right back'. I'm looking forward to seeing it :-)<br />Randi Kayle, I love that shot. Great HDR effect!!<br />And everyone else, great work. Thanks again to Jose for starting the best thread of the week! :-)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liljuddakalilknyttphotogra Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 <p>Hamish - that's OK, Zenfolio have scheduled stuff now & then. it's just a Mute Swan - so nothing special to you. But here they're not supposed to be so very rare & special in the los Angeles area...</p> <p>Everybody - great thread of photos this week<br> Lil :-)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernie moore Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Gary McGhee, Leave it to the Brits to turn a stupid ticket booth into a Roycean work of art. Gadzooks! It's Sunday already and I don't have my WedNEsDAy Pic#10 done yet. Oh, the pressure. Maybe the big snow storm tonight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
