Is that Nikon's 135L? Doooo it. The depth compression and subject isolation is nuts.

Here are the two Captains of our Duck Boat from Saturday. \:D

On my work monitor, the subjects look alittke dark compared to the bright background. Did you do any post processing to balance the light?

I ran it through LR3 really quickly. The boat was covered and sun was coming down on the middle of a lake. I love the smiles / gesture so much, that I don't want mess with it too much and lose the reflection through her hair, etc.

Maybe after it gets cold. I just now got some tips about using Flickr more effectively and am removing my pics from a lot of groups, etc right now.

http://www.thirumurugan.in/2006/07/flickr-hacks5-tips-get-into-flickr.html

Look past the "OMG HAX" and the 5 suggestions make sense. /tangent I'll cover later

I might have to order a CPL for that lens since I mainly use it for outdoor adventuring.

I'm not.

It's for several reasons. Mainly the rash of animated gifs w/o a comment that people leave without helpful criticism or a word at all. Then I look at their profile and it's nothing but junk with a billion views and 4 pages worth of "Add 1, +3 comments" type of stuff. I should have taken a screenshot of the mess of shit one lady left all over my Cardinal photo before erasing it all and blocking her.

My new profile reads...

"I am an amateur photographer learning the ropes and looking for helpful feedback.






However...

PLEASE DO NOT comment on any of my photos with animated .gifs, etc. I am looking for genuine feedback.

I will do the same favor by only commenting and "favoriting" when I see something that grabs my eye or is undeniably good work.

Thank You!

-Mike."


I've thought this through with a specific goal in mind. - No more shitty photos.

I hate that shit. I'm still post to one of them because I keep forgetting it's like that since it doesn't advertise its retardation in the group title.

I found the hat to be a tiny bit dark on both my computers but on my home computer I absolutely love the shot, especially their faces. My office is bright and I'm running some shitty monitors. My home my computer is a darker room with a wonderful 23" monitor. This is one of my favorite shots from Mike so far.

Mike - was that the boat driver that was on the TV show 'undercover boss'? He looks so familiar.

Yep. \:D

I didn't expect anyone to catch that. He was hilarious.

Shieeeeeet, your going to make me work for it. I'm pretty new in the lighting department. I'm going to say window light with a reflector for fill. Looks very natural to me.

Me too. Excellent work on the pastry.

I talked to this guy for a few minutes and kept trying to catch him casting. Not sure if he caught anything.

Looks like I need to clean the sensor on my T2i already. Maybe just dust from switching lenses all day? I don't have PS yet, but am planning on it later for stuff like this.

It's close enough.

Window light as you can see, plus a speedlight on very low setting blasting into a homemade beauty dish on the subject's left. white reflector on camera right for fill.

Yeah. He had been eating and a big breeze came by and as the leaves began to fall he stuck his head up and stretched his neck out. And I rattled off 30 frames on continous high.

I just found a memory card (in my camera) from last Sunday. I knew I had taken some decent bird pics.

Mike you've got some amazing shots with the 70-200 F4 going. You doing them all handheld or using a monopod?

Thank you CB and Kevin.

For birding in the back yard I use a tripod for convenience. I can keep focused on an area where birds are jumping in and out of frame, etc. The rest of the time it's hand-held in daylight.

It's a small Manfrotto 7301YB Tripod that I keep maybe 2 feet off the ground for when my cat starts making funny noises. \:D

A few cardinals and sparrows have got comfortable with me walking past them. Very close to getting them to eat out of my hands.

Pic of tripod for reference:

Nope, you win. Lighting is 1/3 of the image, and as much as I loved the gesture of that turkey, the light just wasn't right. On the other hand, your mockingbird is perfectly lit.

cheers,
scott

Not really. The focal plane seems to be trapped somewhere *juuuuuust* behind the headlights and the wall immediately to the sides of the car.

ISO 200, 105mm out, f/7.1, 1.3 second shutter, on a tripod with IS off and a self timer release.
