brought the flower pot in from the balcony, so it didnt have too much direct light.

Stuck a black card behind it to give me the black ground, and click.

Thanx,

I was thinking maybe I should have done something to not lose the highlights, but have more light on the top left corner to bring out the colors some more.

Comments ?

I know I probably should have used a longer exposure...

yup. I'll try that. maybe with a flash behind the bulbs ?

Thanx.

Close up of a tulip,

Was wondering if i could get ideas for more experiments with

something similar..

Both your pictures are awesome.

Looking forward to when you upload more pictures :)

Not a particularly "pretty" picture especially if you look at the rest of Tony's folder.

But the pictures awesome, its kindof involving ..makes me ask the story behind him and the people laughing at him.

Being at the right place at the right time is seldom enough, you need Tony's eye.

I wish i had the oppurtunity to go thru Tony's pictures in person.

Thanx for sharing your work with us Tony. This ones another POW.

I spent hours at this tiger enclosure. The first hour was just waiting while I waited for the light to get right and the tigers to finish their nap. They kindof got a lot more active after the light faded..which again was a problem..even at f2.8 (i was using velvia)..shutter speeds were too slow and the tigers always kept moving or whatever. I went thru a couple of roles and still wasnt sure if I had any which were sharp.

The whole exp. gave me renewed respect for people who get wildlife shots out in the open. Seems like an impossible task.

Thanx for all the encouraging comments.

Used Fuji Velvia,

lens was Nikon 180 mm f2.8,

I use a Canon 2710 film scanner..gives me decent scans for slides and negatives.

I was trying to get some event pics with a flag etc. in the

background..Trying to show the spirit of things and all.

Anybody know who the guy upfront is ?

the light patch to the right..

Picture would have been perfect without it.

But I love this picture. Great job!

Wish I would have got it without the leaf in the upper right corner..

Maybe i should have used a bit more DOF?

The picture was taken with a Nikon 180mm @ f2.8.

It was getting a bit dark and I was using Velvia..

Went thru a couple of rolls before I got a few with the Tiger sitting still for long enough.

I must have been about 25 feet away.
