What is Lawrence up to - 2015?

[Lawrence]

I had a bit of fun at the zoo today and am really starting to enjoy and appreciate "The Beast"











And this is my favourite for the day.
Although I clearly missed the shot what makes it for me is the fact that he is heading away from me.

That reminds me -- time to schedule the intern's 60 day proficiency test. . .

Fun shots, sir.

My photos look different here to what they do in LR prior to exporting - I think I should remove the "sharpen for screen" setting.

Yes, I would.

Some great shots Lawrence.
Glad to see you are enjoying the new camera.

Here are a few more - have taken the extra sharpening on export out.

I have decided I quite like this photo of a Cicada that has moved on. The toffee colour is very appealing.

Thanks mate - this last one is going into the club compo as one of my 3 entries.

Turning off that sharpening sure made a huge difference Lawrence. I feel for the better too as the last shots looked much more natural. Great shots...well...except the pornographic one

 

[sonicbuffalo_RIP]

Enjoying the images a lot better with the extra sharpening turned off too! They look very real now!

 

[Scott Murray]

Yes keep that extra sharpening turned off lol, I never sharpen more than 50% most times.

I took this shot at the zoo as an afterthought but now that I see the colours I think I want to go back and get this fellow to pose properly. This time I won't cut his crown off.
That aside I like the composition.

I am ultra pleased with this selfie.
Taken in very bright daylight!
I was testing a method of getting a dark background in bright light with no backdrop.
One off camera flash used.

Post processing was a crop to get the eyes at the 1/3rd line and a tiny bit of sharpening. No adjustments were made to exposure!
Whoo hoo - I am chuffed.

Very good job there Lawrence

Small amount of light on the underexposed side might have added a little more definition but it is still a fine portrait to hang in the post office. That's why i don't take candids of myself. Too much chance of being recognized by the authorities.

Ron I thought the dark side would be exposed as that was the side facing the sun.
The result makes me even happier to know that I can block out natural light using this method.

Well it is always good to learn a new trick. That would be handy for photographing flowers i betcha.
