PHOTO-A-DAY: January 2013

Thanks Chromium, I used the light that was available so no flash. The exposure wasn't too long either maybe around 1/4 I think it was?

@Juergen - there's a time posted next to Your nick, between nick and quote link/blockquote>
Adam, I should start reading the D4 manual, I might discover things I never knew about :-)



Here is my share of the day, another one from Dresden, Germany.

I've not been able to get any shooting done today so I'm posting one of my personal favourites from last year.

@JJPhotos:

I feel you have not maxed the potential of that shot - the guy laying down does not have the emphasis he deserves. If it were me I would re-saturate him to get him to compete with the clean, sharp buildings. Even with the dark clothes and skin tone it may help. I feel that would elevate it to a higher standard.

Again, nice stuff on PAD. The new forum seems to be attracting more folks...very nice.

Michelle

Don't panic! I'm not going to bombard your great forum with kitty pics!! I thought I'd just post one as I've enjoyed being here. xxx

@ Michelle....bring the cats on! But...you need to give the names...cats do not like it when you use their photo and do not give the name....you know how they are...totally into self.

spraynpray

Hey Michelle - you have some very good pics on Flickr, well done.

Michelle

The kitten's name was Lolita. She was adopted a couple of months back.

@spraynpray - Thanks. xxx

Msmoto

@ Michelle Yes, i looked at your Flickr photostream....love it. I have had about a dozen rescues, now only one. But you will see Grace up here for sure...

So far, I think, unless someone comes up with some fantastic cat photos, you are Queen of the Cats.

HAHA - Thank you Msmoto! A nice compliment being there seems to be lots of "proper" photographers on here.

I'm expecting better of myself in 2013. Learning is great fun.

Nice to hear you've had some rescue cats

I know that the composition sucks, and that it should be much more clear. It all doesn't matter, as I'm happy that I finally captured it on frame. Sure, I would love to do it in nature, as this will bring me some prices but even in capture, getting snow leopard on frame is hard

Ton, welcome to PAD and neat shot.
Adam, I think the grass in front adds a sense of spontaneity to the photo. And yes, just about any leopard shot is going to be a good one. They are so elusive, in zoos and in nature.

Msmoto

Leopard photo in wild = D4 + new 800mm f/5.6VR, + 2nd D4, 600mm, f/4VR, plus Travel + cost of "Photo Tour + extras, or in round terms, about USD $60,000.00. Much less expensive to shoot in captivity...

adamz

I would managed to capture one with $20k - $10k for 600/4 and rest for travel expenses. anyone wanna sponsor me ?

Msmoto

$14,000 for new 800mm f/5.6....and have Nikon sponsor us both. Kinda like having your grandmother on safari....tooo...funny!

adamz

tommie - I think I could squeeze two ppl in the $10k budget for travelling

It's easier to post now, thank you mods! Finally got a male cardinal shot Iiked..
