Dennis Newman 0 Posted February 22, 2007 I think the bird is too low in the frame, the lower wing is clipped. But the lighting is good, you've captured a good moment in time, and the fast shutter speed created a beautiful background from the water. Link to comment
musashi 0 Posted February 22, 2007 Dennis, It was a quick shot from a moving ferryboat I was in, and I didn't make any effort to fix it afterwards on pc, I've just captured the moment! Link to comment
jcdmeyer 0 Posted February 22, 2007 Thanks for your honesty, and for sharing this really nice capture. Sometimes we just get lucky. Probably more time than we want to admit...;) Link to comment
musashi 0 Posted February 23, 2007 Hello John, nice to talk to 'ya and thanks for kind words. In fact, simplicity's something that almost everyone is running from..! That's why I try not to complicate things, using in post-producing very easy-to-handle softwares as Photoimpression & Picasa. I don't even know how to use PS although I have it in my pc. Peace, Sergio. Link to comment
mvisionphotography 1 Posted February 24, 2007 How do you make the water so beautiful... you amaze me! The bird looks like it just floats on air without moving its wings... (sigh) I wish I could do that :) ~ well done :) ~ micki Link to comment
musashi 0 Posted February 24, 2007 Hi Micki, good to talk to 'ya & many thanks for kindness. I was testing my new lens Nikkor 70-300mm AF-D/ED[equiv. to 105-450mm in D80 body]aboard the ferry in which I go to work everyday for 40 years; the camera was in S mode to achieve high speed not to blur the bird on flight (ISO 200-1/620)handheld; the zoom was equiv. to 450mm; then I made a sequence of 4 or 5 shots - this is the best one . Later at home, using Picasa soft I've just gave one "small touch" in sharpness & colour warming, that's all. Micki, I'm in love w. this lens... God bless you. Sergio Link to comment
musashi 0 Posted February 24, 2007 p.s.: two questions Micki: 1st., are you Andrew's other side of coin? 2nd., does that eye Andrew photographed belong to 'ya? Good God, what a nice & gentle couple I've found..! God bless U2. Sergio Link to comment
