Selection of work

[Jed]

Just a quick and small selection of work, since I'm doing all my Internet stuff off my mobile phone at the moment. I've been very busy, literally making hay while the sun shines this last week, and I must be on about 2 Gig of pics/1500 or so pics. About half of that is wildlife, the other half sports. Here's a very small helping of the first half:

I really like the 2nd photo which looks like a Warbler(?) with a really lovely backdrop. A Goldcrest perhaps? It's really too small to see, are there any catchlights in its eyes from the sunlight? What are your thoughts on using a flash extender setup (like the Better Beamer) to "throw" some fill-flash to produce catchlights?

Thanks for the comments guys.

I'm trying to I.D. the bird myself, will do once I get hold of my guides again but as I'm temporarily out of college and everything's in storage, that will have to wait for a bit.

Yes, some fill would have been nice, in fact I think I did have; but yes a flash extender would have been good, I was set up mainly to shoot the mallard hunting toads, as well as that moorhen, but while waiting, took some shots of this bird as well.

The rig was an effective 1200mm lens. (400mm + 2x TC + 1.5x FLM)

His scanner is built-into his camera. Very cool. Only you don't get to see those little colourful squares on a lightbox. ;p

Based on the specs that he's given, I assume it's one of the DSLR from the Nikon D1 series?

The geese one is beautiful, and the warm light is lovely.

 

[StreetShooter]

He uses a D1x but what he REALLY wants is a Canon 1D.

 

[Kevin]

Nice pictures. Like the 2 flying ducks!

 

[Jed]

Geese. They're geese. Ducks are coming up... in a new thread.

No, I don't want a 1D, simply because I have no lenses to put on the end of it. And simply couldn't afford a 400/2.8 to go with it (no flames please, simple fact of life). But I do want one only for my sports work, for other work the D1x is probably a better all round camera. Yes, I know the difference in FLM-ers.

Panning?? or just very high shuttle speed? Very nice!!!
