C&C my first trying of "high key"

[Steve U]

Nice shots JJ, it must have been a heck of a landing because the bird is taking a long bow.[H]Thank you very much.


What are the light circular spots on the LHS of the first photo?


Very arty, I could picture these on the wall of an office. That 300 must be a sweet lens.


[Y]Good job.

Hi JJ,


Very nicely exposed shots under difficult lighting conditions. The birds white feathers are nicely exposed without being blown out. That aint easy!


I think Steve means the gray dots on the upper left hand side (LHS) of the first image. I think it's either water droplets or sand from the bird pluming its feathers, or you're sensor is in some serious need of a cleaning.

Thanks Rich, hopefully those are not dust on my sender. I will do test shot later.so far I still think they were mosquitos

Nice work, I like the second one best.... the eye looks sharp and you can see some detail in the legs ... well done !!!

[Joel Eade]

PS ... you do have some sensor dust spots ... easy to clone out. Don

I would assume those are Mosquitos too. Those would have to be some big pieces of dust to show up that prominently at f/2.8.


Those are some very cool shots. I too could picture these on the wall in an office.
