Wud's project 365 2014

Re: Wud's project 365

Hey so this ladybug shot, that is as close as I can get with the 105mm. I did both manual and autofocus. What will macro shooters suggest, for getting even closer?

I also flipped the camera for DX mode.

I think it's a bit hard shooting macro because I mostly do it handheld and my hand shakes, due to he weight of camera and lens (i find places to balance of course - my knee, a tree and so on) but have no idea if macro extensions weigh anything?

I've been so tired the last couple of evenings, thats why I haven't posted. Maybe also a little because some shots are pretty ehm, bad.

But here goes.

Day 72

Waited... waited... waited.....

Finally, when the sun was placed in the absolutely worst position, bird decided I could finally get its picture. Ugh.

Got a chubby dove, just in case..

Day 73

So tired I couldn't do anything creative

Day 74 - went for interview at my NEW SCHOOL, the guy I was talking to promised me I would get in. YAY!
This is were I'll be going (it was very cool inside too):

A nearby church

And just.. blue sky (Not talking about the freezing wind)

Day 75, spring shadows.

That sounds interesting! Taping your camera to the bird feeder...??

Thank you! I found it on a flea market a few years ago. Gotta love flea markets.

Day 76

Wanted something crunchy.

And just a fun one

Day 77, fire. Not as easy as one would think - the red are very easily overexposed.

Day 78 - spring flowers. First 2 shots are 2 images layered on top of eachother, to get focus on both the "ring" around the center, and the center itself (no idea what to call that).

Soft..

Matte flower

Day 79 - doggish.

Re: Wud's project 365

Camera shake and morning coffee = the two are very related to each other. I generally avoid hand held shots until the afternoon when the bulk of the caffeine has been burned up. Otherwise a tripod (monopod) is mandatory

Re: Wud's project 365

My morning "shakes" come because I haven't yet added the coffee.

Re: Wud's project 365

Hey how come Pretzel are big bald guy and I'm just a senior?! Oh
maybe because I'm neither...

The lady from the brother shoot choose the 2 portraits + another color image of them together, all in A3 and in the same framing. And then some smaller ones but those A3's will be for the present. I think it'll lol good hanging

And now I just said yes to another portrait of dogs arrangement, this time I'll donate 50% for their club, this way I get a little $ too for the work and I can use some money for some advertising I could give the costumers..

You can change that to what ever

Re: Wud's project 365

Maybe I should change it for "Scott Murray" then

Just had an idea. Added a lot of black brush on an old image, I really like the outcome. Just advertised a portrait day for people with black dogs.. hope people will sign up, I think it could be some very good images.

Re: Wud's project 365

That is a good idea Mai. I think you are ready to tackle black dogs on a commercial basis.

Re: Wud's project 365

Really like that black dog shot Mai. I have a friend that does dog shoots for a local dog rescue and also for the local vets. Gives him plenty of practice & lots of different subjects
