Animal Kingdom / Re: Show your Bird Portraits

On the Male Takahe shot... what have you done to the background... it is the weirdest blur... almost a criss cross pattern blur..
I get that when throwing fences out of focus.

shot my first drifting competition this weekend. Never done panning shots before, but I think i hit it right on the money.
I also learned that I should bring an extra 16gb card next time I shoot. I had to change to small raw have way through shooting.

Thanks for the kind words!
I tried to desaturate the blue snow, and in my opinion it looked a lot better (http://fullfartfoto.no/share/IMG_3091-2.jpg) Thanks!
Photo looks awesome! great job, love the lighting, love the low angle!

« on: February 28, 2012, 02:59:04 PM »Nice pic! that has to be one of the best HDR car photo's i've seen, EVER. Usually HDR pics of cars make me want to be sick or at least have a siezure, but that is clean. what did you use to process it?
You mean to tell me that you don't like images that look like cartoons? What's wrong with you? Taking an all-around mediocre image, going all HDR crazy, and getting e-high-fives from your online cohorts is a rite of passage for any novice photog! It ranks right up there with shooting black and white images of your obese cat.
I think that when it comes to cars, going overboard on HDR, has it's time and place. And it's so easy to want to push the photo to it's limits.
Here a pseudo HDR i did several years back. Printed this photo looks good, but in the last few years i would never make the mistakes I did.
1.) Tonemapped not true HDR
2.) Went to the extremes on every slider possible (all or nothing)
3.) Broke my first rule of automotive photography "GET THE WHOLE CAR!!" unless your focusing on one single part of the car.
4.) Halos in the background
But what i have learned is you need to make mistake, and recognize what mistakes you made, to make the next photo look even better.

I used photshop CS 5, and just played with the setting until I got that clean look. Personally I usually go to the "Overcooked HDR" look for cars, but for this shot, i found the subtle HDR to be far more pleasing.
And thank you for the compliment.

5DII 17-40L
I took this at a local cemetery, This is for a photo competition, the subject was Automotive & ominous. 5 exposure HDR. And what caught my eye, was the leading lines of the road, that bring you into the subject.

I rented this lens and fell in love with it!
I use a 70-200 f2.8 is II - as my normal lens - but it thought this was a great walk around lens. And will be adding it to my kit sometime this year.
