I'm going to pick #4 for my favorite although they were all good...I liked 4 because even though I suspect you didn't pose him....lol he does appear to expressing something..he has a look on his face :-) I also felt the hairs were crisp and sharp.....I was glad to see wild animal pics since I've obviously been shooting a lot of wildlife lately myself....great job Burr..... PS when are you heading home?
OK....did you 'steal' all of these from a magazine??....or are you secretly a National Geographic photographer?.....or are you JUST THAT GOOD??!!! LOL - I already know the answer - you ARE Just That Good!!!! Beautiful work Burr!
LOVELY! My faves are 1, 5, 6. The bird has such beautiful colors and I can see every feather and her eyes look wise and elegant, the monkey is perfect technically as is the turtle. They all have great expressions are well done, and are very thought provoking.
I use my 100-400L canon lens almost all the time. Even the dragon fly. The 6d is an awesome camera-wifi, gps, video. It takes great pictures. But it's slow frames per second rate (4.5) keeps me from using it out in the field with all these birds moving around. I want to try it out at night with my 11-16mm on like a 60 second shot of the stars. I might sell it and go for the new 7d II. (10 frames per second)
wow, you have some cool pets! the eyes in #1 are penetrating! ok, here's but ignorance... what kind of bird?? That long focal length worked awesome for the blurred background - all focus on the bird! and #4 - good example on pushing the 'ISO'.. using a tripod?? I would guess not and if correct, the ISO allowed the fast shutter for that long range. #3's an alligator?? what is hitching a ride?? #5 was my favorite. Beautiful focus really brought out the tips of the hair, mustache! Color and B&W all rolled into one... great shot!~
Hey Rex, The bird is a Red Shouldered Hawk. The camera was acting up on #4. I think the contacts on the lens to camera were dirty or something. I cranked it up to 1600 for a couple of shots for no good reason. If it was working right that shot would have been a white-out at 1/320. I reseated the lens and everything was back to normal.

ReplyDeleteCurious as to what lenses you used. Are you now loving your 6D?!
