Matt Laur Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Important: please keep your image under 1000 pixels on the longest side for in-line viewing, and please keep the FILE SIZE UNDER 300kb. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site (at Flickr, Photobucket, your own site, etc). Are you new to this thread? The general guidelines for these Wednesday threads are right here: http://www.photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00W7km. This forum's moderators are allowing up to three Nikon Wednesday images per week, so share some work! Last week I popped in with a shot from a puppy portrait session I'd just shot. As it always does, it took some off-and-on work in post over a few days to get everything wrapped up, printed, and delivered for all nine pups. Here are three more from that shoot. First, one of the nine pups in portrait-for-the-new-owner mode, and then a couple more shots I did for my own amusement. It feels like a good Nikon Wednesday to share anything that's a follow-up to an earlier posting, if one's in the mood. Or anything you've got! Let's see 'em, Nikon people. Here's an example of the delivered shots: D810 at ISO 100 and 1/200th with a Sigma 105/2.8 Macro from about six feet. Buff lighting. And, couple just-for-fun shots, using the Sigma 35/1.4 from much closer to the talent. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Di Leo Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Puppies of another sort. My daughter's triplets were celebrating their 11th birthday, but their almost 8 year old brother thought it a good idea to threaten the cake! d810 w nikkor 35/2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawsonPointers Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 For those who suffered the Colorado low Monday and Tuesday, here is a shot of San Francisco Beach here in Uruguay to warm you up. It is high tourist season here and many of the people on this beach were probably from Argentina. The beach is about 2km long and it was like this the entire length. The coast of Uruguay is lined by beaches like this. D7100 Sigma 150-500mm @500mm 1/400th f10 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yardkat Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Not real dogs. ;) But at least it's kind of in the theme! D750+ a rented 24-70. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heimbrandt Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Here is another shot from the trip to the nearby old mill the other week. Lots of water spray in the air, which made shooting towards the light even more appealing. Nikon D800E, AF-S 300/2.8 VR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Garrard Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 The theme of the week seems to be clearing a backlog, which is just as well since I'm on a business trip and didn't take my Nikon for once. These are from the same sequence as last week's geese, so 200-500, D810, somewhere between 1/250s and 1/500 and f/7.1 at ISOs around 100-200 on the water and 1100 for the pigeons. I'll go with a bread theme, because someone had been feeding. Pigeons throwing it around first: [ATTACH=full]1229503[/ATTACH] (Incidentally, I've had trouble posting and liking things - I hope this works. Anyone else having trouble?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something funky going on with PNet and yours and Heimbrant's photos. I tried to like them, but it doesn't work. So you photo may be liked by amny, but none show up. Love the Corgi model. We've got 2 real ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Schaefer Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Got some puppy shots too - but unlike Matt Laur's mine don't clean up easily, don't pose, and lighting control is virtually non-existent. Piedras Blancas Elephant Seal Rookery. D500 with 200-500 at 500mm, f/8, 1/1000s, ISO 1800 same parameters as above except ISO 4500 same parameters as above except ISO 2200 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_bill Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Matt, nicely done, great expressions. Looks like your lighting is a near horizontal strip box R, a fill LF low and a kicker high rear? Do you use anything like mink oil on their coats? I like the texture of your sweep as well. Had the pleasure to meet the Buff folks that have been so helpful over the years at PPA in Nashville and since they had a vendor exhibit, I didn't have to leave and go to the factory there.

Matt Laur Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 Matt, nicely done, great expressions.

Had the pleasure to meet the Buff folks that have been so helpful over the years at PPA in Nashville and since they had a vendor exhibit, I didn't have to leave and go to the factory there. Hi Bob Indeed - the key light is one of Buff's discontinued pack-and-head systems high and right in a strip-shaped softbox with a grid. There's some fill from an Einstein being bounced off a large white surface (some curtains!) behind the camera position, chest-high, a bit left. And then high and left behind the pup is a B800 using a honeycomb, providing that hair light. The sweep is a role of Savage seamless paper draped from a C-stand's boom arm, and then clamped to the front of the four foot table we were using. If I recall, that's Savage's "storm grey." It can be pushed bright or dark without much trouble, and can be used to considerable drama, or blah-nothing as one sees fit. Lopped off the bottom few feet when we were done ... puppy drool and whatnot all over it! Here's a quick phone-cam shot from the breeder's living room. You can't see the fill light, but you can see the glow from the hair light's modeling lamp, and the strip box high, right. Edit: nope, just a damp paper towel on those pups to get the crud off of them. I still - especially on the liver-colored pups - inevitably have to spend some time cloning out bits of stuff on their coats. That lens and fancy-pants D810 sensor captures EVERYTHING. And puppies are just plain dirty! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShunCheung Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Sorry folks, photo.net seems to have some glitches such that new posts were accumulating but didn't actually show up to the threads. Later on, they all appeared such that some people's repeated attempts end up as (many) duplicated posts. Hopefully things are back to normal now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Garrard Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Thanks for sorting out my mess, Shun (if that was you). Back to the bread. Someone chucked some in the river, and everything kicked off. As ever, if only we were allowed four images... but this is the happy outcome, where at least four birds (five if you count the duck with its head under water, whose mouth you can't see in this shot) got some.
