PHOTO-A-DAY: June 2013

turnthedarncranks · June 2013

Haven't had a chance to shoot or post lately. Spent some time last weekend on a vacation at a farm in wester Massachusetts, and took a few shots that I hope to share over the next few days. Here's the first, which I think shows that sometimes lying on the ground really improves your POV for a shot.

D7000 f4.5 1/500 ISO 200 (Nikkor 18-105 @ 35)

Well since turnthedarncranks mentioned lying on the ground. I do that quite often with my birds. Today I was trying to figure out if I finally got my fine tune right with the Bokina 300 F2.8 and 1.4x TC..
@turnthedarncranks where in western Mass? I lived there for 7 years..

D300 * Tokina 300 F2.8 + 1.4x TC * 420mm * F4 * ISO 400 * 1/1600th

@Coastalconn - I'd say you got the fine tune perfect!

@Golf007sd - If I had known you were going to be shooting my car I would have come down and introduced myself.

Here's mine for today. This little fellow kept me scrambling for hours last night...

Very nice bird shots on this page!

Here is my share of the day:

some are girls I know from the grocery store

I might need to look for a different grocery store.

This was shot on the same evening as my image from a couple of days ago. If you've never had a chance to shoot on this body of water, it's worth doing.

@rschnaible Very interesting. How did you do such a split-tone??

turnthedarncranks · June 2013

@Coastalconn We stayed in West Stockbridge. I'd not been in that area in many years. It's simply stunning.

Another share of this couple. I really liked this set up on the pier.

The couple are great greybagel but I would use content aware delete on that left hand piling - it is such a distraction. Perhaps a little straightening and remove that jet ski or whatever in the picture.
