Hello folks i keep going on with my series of images from Helgoland , covering the Seals
This large male was running towards another male , that was somewhere behind me . Completely ignoring my presence .... honestly one has to be careful when staying down low on the beach . Sitting or lying was the best choice for the low POV shots .... but potentially dangerous , as the bulls could ran over you .
And they come fast !!!!!! In some cases i was surrounded by 3 or 4 of them , and you cannot see all at the same time and you do not know when they start to run after each other for either chasing or fighting the other ones . But i got away without being harmed by one of them .
Canon EOS 1Dx II
EF 200-400 IS L at 386 mm
HH lying flat on the ground .
F 5,6 ; ISO 25.600 ; 1/2000 sec ; man exp
Full frame
Processed with Capture One Pro 10 and PS CC 2017 ; little gardening in FG ; wanted to see the capabilities of Capture One 10 .
Thanks for watching and commenting to my previous posting
Sounds like SUCH FUN !!!!! Love the colours and once again amazed at the IQ at that ISO. Image really gives a good idea of these creatures and their personalities - love that !
Terrific stuff Andreas -- Great low POV, Looks huge ! 25,600 is even better than your 20K seal or am I getting a bit to exited on seeing this wonderful Seal image . I might crop slightly from the RHS for a better balance , just my opinion .
Thanks Andrew, Basil , Haseeb and Rachel for your comments , as always much appreciated .
Haseeb - i would no go tighter on RHS as then i would clip the virtual fin , and i want to avoid that .
Thanks again , Andreas
You need to think about dusting down that printer and start to see what they are like when printed Andreas, that's the best test as you know. You have a nice series of images and you are slowly seeing the difference in the upgrade, any with D+, drop me a line.
Thanks Steve .....but what does that mean ... The 'Barrel'... more like ?
Sorry do not understand that .
Yep the dust is there
You are for right regarding the real test of a file is the print.
Will drop you a line on Monday .... tomorrow is too busy with work ( Zoo is calling ) and family business.
