tomadakis 0 Posted June 4, 2009 Alberto, thank you! I was at a state park, where wildlife is protected, walking down this dirt road which runs next to a canal. There are tall trees on both sides of the road that gave me enough hiding. There was a deer on the other side of the canal grazing on the green grass next to the water. I was shooting it with an old manual 500mm lens on a tripod. The road was behind me. I felt eyes staring at me and turned around. There she was with her two chicks, strolling right behind me two meters away, way too close for that lens. Once I recovered I scrambled to focus as she walked away with an attitude, tall (about 1.30m/4feet) and gracefull. This chick never left her side. The other one was a bit crazy. I shot maybe twenty frames. I love this one. I know it is soft, out of focus, the feet are cut off. It doesn't matter, it was a rare moment for me that I will never forget! A second after this shot she took a right into the trees. A moment later she was across the canal and soon disappeared in the tall grass. Link to comment
bevip 0 Posted June 5, 2009 The idea is good and the work sympathetic, but my point of view is that the two birds are a bit fuzzy and feet are the first cut. Link to comment
herbstm 0 Posted June 7, 2009 A very lovely shot! You know how to capture these special moments and even more: You know how to tell stories with your photos, the sweet as well as the bitter ones. And this is a priceless (or may I say ratingless) gift and the reason why I like to come back and visit your portfolio. It is very sympathetic that in order to shoot these photos/stories you don't need many "effects", just your fine perception and that's what photography (IMHO) is about. Thank you for sharing. Kind regards Marcus Link to comment
davidorea 1 Posted June 11, 2009 Perfect title for this funny capture, Antoni. A delight of scene, colors, light and DOF. Good shot! Regards! Link to comment
photis santamouris 23 Posted June 14, 2009 How about a little treatment and altering the bottom part?Is the result closer to what you've experienced there? Link to comment
tomadakis 0 Posted June 14, 2009 I like it very much! Your version has feet which was a very important missing element. :o) Never thought about cropping it vertical... It is great, and the memory remains the same. Thank you for taking the time to do this, truly I appreciate it. Be well, always! Link to comment
