Ange pur, ange radieux, August, 2006

This was one of my first attempts using a Nikon 600mm f/4 (manualfocus) lens on the Canon 5D body. What a great combo!

The colours and DOF are spectacular! Really beautiful. Wish the the little flybutt were in a slightly different position but nonetheless, a beautiful image! Well done for a first time use of new equipment! Kudos!

Thank you, Jan. The amazing this was how easy it was to do. I hope to get a lot better, of course.

Background well neutralized and yet still there, nice pose, but that diagonal stick or branch should be erased!

 

Cheers Landrum!

Thanks, Pierre. Cloning the background branches out would be a nightmare, since then I would have to decide what to do with the leaves growing on those branches.

Cool colors and very good shot of butterfly

Hi Lannie, I love this photo. The soft colurs and the background / foreground contrast are well executed. I would love to know more about the canon / nikon combo as I use a canon XTI but I'm not too happy with the standard canon lens.

Thanks, Kenrick. Not much to tell, really. Just get a Canon EOS-Nikon adapter on eBay (the cheap Chinese kind in my case), put the adapter on the camera, stick the lens on, and fire away. You can't shoot auto, of course.

Like a Zen garden, soft and gentle with beautiful bokeh of the background.

(Bokeh - blurred background.)

Thank you, Krissy. Yes, I love this huge Nikon manual focus lens for its creamy bokeh.

 

This was shot from perhaps thirty feet away.

Pretty capture from that distance.. the diagonal stick is a bit distracting.. but not a big deal. Trying to pick between operas on the other hand.. :-)

Thanks, Haig, I have been enjoying your Tour de Force on the "No Words" forum.
