PHOTO-A-DAY: March 2013

Gotta love Paris. Gotta love a D800. Gotta love a fisheye (sometimes). (even the DX 10.5)

:-)



D800, 10.5 fisheye, hand held 1/15 @ f/3.2, ISO 1600

Yes, gotta love it. I was looking for a different view. Found it.

If you know what kind of bird this is....

I'm not a bird man but looks like a sparrow. Simple and nice.

Been a while since my last post. Spending time learning Photoshop CS5, specifically detailed portrait retouching. The photos here continue to be awesome guys and girls.
@ Dredden85, I wish you the best, hope you recover those files. I dread that feeling.
@ pippigurl, that image is absolutely stunning. You nailed it!

Went to an art festival yesterday and the biggest complaint from all the photographers trying to sell their photos was: "everyone's full of compliments, but nobody's buying." Here's a 4 piece band that was playing during the festival.

D800, Nikkor 85mm f/1.4G @ f/8 ; 1/125 ; ISO 100 EV+0.5
The band was under a canopy and dark so I metered for the wall in the background and popped them with an SB-900. Once again, I was asked twice if I was shooting for local newspapers or other media. Funny!

Hey, that looks like WPB.

I think this one must have had a bad night....



D4, 400mm f/2.8 VRII, TC-20EIII, 1/1000 at f/10, ISO 5000

Wow, that is beautiful. At 5000, that is impressive. That what you get from Expensive and Expensive.

D4, 85mm f/1.8G, 1/160 sec at f/1.8, ISO 900

Excellent!

D3 • 50mm f1.8G @ f2 • 1/200 • ISO 2500

My palms sweat immediately!

Hey @blu: When you comment on others pics, don't post the image code as things get pretty confusing from a deja vue point of view! Imagine if everybody did that...

Bahrain National Museum.
Straight on, it is just a diamond pattern. But at about a 45 degree angle it turned organic!

Tried out the Kenko 300 2x TC in the snowstorm today. I was surprised it did as well as it did considering I had no light to work with...

mk2pop

@mk2pop, I'm pretty shocked actually. AF still worked (not very fast) but there was not a bunch of light either... Some of my shots today even without a TC look hazy because it was snowing so hard...

I included the cars in the picture to give a sense of the scale.

some goose tracks in our rapidly diminishing snow pack.

Following a young 8 year old tracker nervously into endless miles of sand and desert heat has to make anyone nervous I imagine. However, he knew his stuff and the journey was unforgettable. He also served as a great scale of reference for the towering dunes in this region:

Been a while since I've posted anything here. Testing some new, cheap continuous lighting rigs I picked up off eBay for a product shoot coming up. Part of what has been occupying my time I introduce the newest member of the family, Stella.

Great catch, kanuck.
