We saw this herd of buffalo moving through the trees and guessed that they were on their way to the dam. We drove up onto the dam wall to wait for them.
It was great to be able to photograph them as they emerged from the trees into the morning light.
Nikon D300s
Nikkor 300mm telephoto + 1.4TC
1/250s
f8
ISO800
Hand held from safari vehicle, braced against roof strut
I cropped about 10% from right hand side to remove a stray buffalo that was not very attractive.
A further 10% cropped from top to remove sky as it distracted from the lovely golden glow of the trees
about 5% cropped from the bottom to remove empty space.
sharpened a bit
Thanks for looking
I have a question about posting .. When I 'save for web' I need to reduce the image quality considerably in order to bring the file size within the 400kb limit.
In this case the quality was reduced to around 50%. Is thsi a problem, or is there a better way to get the right image size?
