ArmadylArcher Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 http://www.flickr.com/photos/karljohnston/3461382431/ Went for a 30 k hike into the woods this past day and took a few shots. A loon passed over the stream about 6 feet from me and skippered over the water by its feet. I was too stunned to take a shot. The land is beautiful...oh so damn beautiful. I took this shot with an 11-16 tokina 2.8 and a 5D mark II on a 190CX3 manfrotto/+486 RC2 ballhead. Bit of a rough job working with the tripod; I'm thinking of getting an Really Right Stuff tripod because I hear rave reviews about them and how stable they are.

Shiny Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Seems a bit boring. You should of made it a trek, bought a sleeping bag and tent, and waited for the Golder Hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I like it - composition is good, colour tones are nice, just seems really low quality jpg-i-fied. D: 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmadylArcher Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Cheers for the comments, it was getting late evening and this is one of the shots that didn't work out quite as planned. I liked the stones, though, and sorry for the low quality jpeg - my flickr account is full for the month. It's early spring where I'm at, I imagine in the summer it will be a lot more colorful with greens and purples and blues :D I'll find the spot again and make another attempt! Cheers.

Johannas Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Ooh i really like your style. Good job! Nice compostion and tone, and the sky looks awesome too. I take it you live somewhere in scandinavia? - i've been stalking you on the gallery for a bit :oops: Do you get much night time? I think the shot would look awesome if it was taken at dusk or dawn :) Thank you to tripsis for an awesome sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmadylArcher Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Thanks King! I live in the Canadian sub-arctic, actually :D but good guess! I ended up getting here only right after the dusk had passed me I'm planning on doing some aurora shooting out here if I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
