Run for it!

Hey guys! Lng time I've posted something for critique, but I think

this one is worth it! The only think I'd have liked is a shallower

DOF but it was impossible to get a slow shutter speed big aperture

(I don't have ND filters :S)

 

Any comments really appreicated!

Goddamnit people you simply DON'T give a 3 or 2 without explaining WHY!

 

This "ratings only that can change depending on the time of the day" is starting to piss me off royally!

Les brindilles sont dérengeantes. De plus, je crois que tu aurais du utiliser une vitesse plus élevée afin de ne pas avoir de partie floues. Ou encore mieux, demander a ton chien de ne pas bouger!! Cependant, la couleur de la neige est parfaite. Bonne exposition a ce niveau.

Jean-Philippe, I read your post re: ratings with no comments, and it made me wonder what photo you posted that elicited such a reaction. I enjoyed some of your other shots, but this one is a 'snapshot' with minimal artistic interest. Yes, it is correctly exposed, but the dog is not doing anything particularly interesting (coming to the camera), the snow is already heavily trampled, and there are distracting plants in the background. I am sure you have nice shots of your dog! (Given the quality of some of your other photos).

Thanks for the comment :) Maybe I was overreacting a bit, because doing this kind of shot is HARD. getting a third of a stop higher or lower, and your snow is washed out, or the dog is lost in shadows... And also, getting a slow shutter speed to show movement forces to use a smaller aperture, so I had to cope with this... (I really have to buy a ND filter :) )

 

Looks like I got some reactions on my posts tough!
