dave0293 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I haven't posted here in a while, so I thought I would post some recent photos, one of a nearby river, a eagle that landed in our backyard, and one from a bonfire we had.

Nadril Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 They all could stand to be smaller in size and given a bit of color correction. Just an example of what I would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouchy Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 These photo's are amazing! Good job! I especially like the ones with the river flowing My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages.

Sam Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 [hide=][/hide] That's the best one IMO. You need to crop out the foreground on some of the other river pictures as they completely mess up the composition. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woopidoo2 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Wow, the bald-eagle is much and much better than the others :P Really, I dream of capturing that bird like that. :thumbup: How close was it? which lens did you use? I'm very interested in birding, and I will lend my friend's Sigma 80-400 this weekend to try some birding near me. I wont be seeing any eagles though :| Keep it up, try to photograph when the light is special. Return to that river a few hours before sunset, or just when the light is warmer than the usual light.

dave0293 Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 Thanks for all the replies, sorry for not commenting as my Internet provider was having some problems. @Yaff, All of them seem a little out of focus. I think I have to work on setting up and composing the picture, getting right focus more before I take the picture @Nad Thanks a lot, that looks a lot better. I hadn't done any minor adjustments to any, mainly I don't really have a sense of what I should do to each picture to improve it.Wow, the bald-eagle is much and much better than the others :P Really, I dream of capturing that bird like that. :thumbup: How close was it? which lens did you use?

I don't really remember how close I was, I saw it fly in outside with the fish so I ran downstairs to get the camera and shot it (quickly, and not completely in focus). I think I might have been around 20 feet away with a 70-210mm lens. As for the river ones, I shot those around sunset. What should I do next time to make them look better?

Shiny Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Compose them correctly, and correctly set the exposures next time. The water ones seem a little dark, and need cropping/colour correction. Don't be afraid to give them a zap in photoshop. The bald eagle on is the best, in terms of composition and generally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you just, for example, I crop the second one? I don't like the branches behind the eagle, it would have been better if I had a smaller aperture (in my opinion).

Shiny Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I'd take around 200px off the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woopidoo2 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 As for the river ones, I shot those around sunset. What should I do next time to make them look better? I would follow the river to find a place with less trees where light is coming through. I dont know if that would work out, but you could always try ;) [http://woopidoo2.deviantart.com][Tip.it Moderator from Dec 10, 2006 to 03 Sep, 2008] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
