Motif: This week, the assignment will be “Colors of Red”. I am starting the assignment with my new friend Henry. Lets use our imaginations and see what we come up with…


This handsome fellow was curious as to why I was walking along the pond at Tropical Park, this past weekend. I named him Henry; and we became very good friends after a bag or two of Wise potatoes chips. Henry was so grateful for the free meal; that he came up close so that I could take his portrait. Henry was painted with a Nikon D200, using a Nikkor 300mm AF-S f/4D IF-ED, and a Nikkor 1.4 T/C

Image solution:
focal length @ 300mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / in camera matrix metering / ISO @ 200 / 1/1000sec. - f/5.6 / white balance @ auto / AF - mode @ dynamic range, auto - continuous / color space @ sRGB /lighting solution - no speedlight, ambient light / exposure comp @ -0.3EV / tone comp @ +1 degree / hue adjustment @ +2 degrees / saturation factor @ +2 degrees / support platform - no tripod, hand held, flat on my belly…


Comments are greatly appreciated...:cool:
