Hi, Johnstondox!





I like the 3-rd picture most.


The first one is not sharp enough - I couldn't see eyelashes of the bear... []

Not much, just stuff from the back yard...

Dandelion is so clean, so white...


"The cleanest back yard" medal goes to Jayson!

Hi, powers_brent!





Some times, I think, back lit ears can attract too much attention, IMO...

Ok, how about one more shot on Sunday (the 23rd)...

Sean,


Doesn't flash make her neck a bit too thin?

Another amazing shot is down left. What did you use to light the hill slopes? (I can't imagine electricity bill amount)[img]/emoticons/emotion-21.gif[/img]

Actually, I used a 380,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 watt/sec continuous light positioned about 93,000,000 miles from the hill slopes in order to get the exposure I was looking for.

wireless control?

Yes, the previously mentioned continous light (coupled with the strobe) did blow out the highlights on her neck.

Awesome! The contrast between the two birds is really cool. Would be cooler if the white one was higher (or lower).. but birds are random.

Never. :-)


By the way Chris, nice shots and welcome to the community!
