Snowy Egret @ noon #2
This is second of series shooting egrets in full sun at noon.
Took some pp advice from first post, most notably keeping the image
a bit warmer as suggested by Blake....thanks for an excellent suggestion.
The light coming through the translucent wings is the only effective way to
shoot these in full hot sun IMO. BTW, this is over brown muddy floodwater
400mm, 1/1250, f/11, Aperture Priority, -1.33EV
thanks for all input/critique
You handled the harsh light well in this one. I like the pose, water color and light shining through the feathers. The eye looks a bit odd, maybe because of the sun angle.
thanks for comment Axel. The light came through the top rear of the eye and cast a highlight likeOriginally Posted by Axel Hildebrandt
a flashlight in lower area below the eye. I am noticing unusual highlights in many of the eyes from this series
I really like this one, Dave. Great job of handling the contrast. I like!
Beautiful again Dave, thanks so much for sharing these and what you learned shooting them.
Dave I love the lighting, very dramatic, try lightening the eye are.
Hi David,
What a lovely BG and pose..... Very nice as presented!
Another great image in bad light, Dave. I like the warmer tones.
There's a lesson to be learned about good and bad in this series that you've presented, Dave. Bad light isn't necessarily bad if it helps you create an image that you like. If you created an image where your subject is entirely out of focus, but you intended to create it that way, is it wrong? No. It's your creative vision. You define right and wrong. This line of thought is typically for those who are ready for it. As each one of us progresses in our photography there comes a time when you break the "rules"... but you mean to break them. You gain new vision and perspective.
Keep up the creativity, Dave. I'm feelin' it :cool:
thanks guys...and Blake, I'm feelin' it too....that creative vision
