Hello all ... hope you had a pleasant and peaceful Christmas
So back to work on BPN ....
Here i come with this Grey Seal pup who checked me out while i was photographing him/her on the Dune of Helgoland .
Canon EOS 1Dx II
EF 200-400 IS L at 400 mm
HH
F 6,3 ; Iso 16.000 ; 1/2000 sec ; might have gone away with 1600/sec and get more F stop
Processed with DPP 4.5 and PS CC 2017 ; cropped for comp to 75 % of FF; some dodging of darker patches in FG and BG .
Thanks for watching and commenting to my previous posts .
Andreas the head and shoulder on this must be close to perfect, the fur looks superb,I have looked long and hard for colour casts and any nits but sorry can't find a thing,great work.
Hi Andreas - Again nice low pov. Great pose from the pup. I love the profile so that we can see the whiskers against the sea bg. Nice colors and IQ again looks good at this size. Well done.
Andreas iso 16000 ...O...M...G does that translate buddy what I mean is wow this is superb. Apart from the supepb execution and the iso what really draws me is I can see the edge of the rocks, the horizon of the sea the fall off of the beach ,it's not just a wonderful portrait andreas its a pup at home /in his home ,does that make sense :pov profile whiskers and the grey of the north in winter ....everything works
Happy X mas Andreas have the most wonderful new year ride hard shoot straight
Cracking angle, soft tones and pose here, Andreas.
Your high ISO shots in low light are a testament to this new toy you are playing with. It seems it's finally catching up on the heels of its yellow counterparts
Thanks Morkel and Haseeb for your kind comments .... much appreciated .
Morkel .... in the right hands ... the toy will overtake the yellows .....in combo with the right PP work even more
Hope i will not step on Nikonian toes .... too heavy
