Just a couple of quick shots from the weekend

robbins.photo · Jul 13, 2014

Trying out a couple of new techniques, well new to me at any rate. Wasn't able to spend much time shooting this weekend unfortunately, laid myself up with a nice little foot injury. What can I say, gravity and I have a long and tumultuous relationship.. lol

But I managed to snap a few anyway:

Nice shots,injured in all. I don't usually have gravity problem but I had a fight with a hedge trimmer 10 days ago and lost when I trimmed my finger wide open.Just got the stitches out today.

Very nice! those seem to be very light colored bison. For comparison;

Yes, gravity is pretty much my arch nemesis.. that and her evil handmaiden, stairs.. lol. I was pretty happy with this set though, I intentionally went out and found the harshest lighting conditions I could find and used a CPL - that and I made some changes in post just to see what was possible. All and all I was very pleased with the results, I don't normally use a CPL on my telephoto but I think under the right conditions I'll have to start considering it more often.

Lol..haven't you ever heard that old expression, is that a pelican in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Thanks JJ - they only have the two white buffalo in the herd but they are both just beautiful critters.

Just like Jasmine, I like the buffies best, Todd. Pelicans are good too but I need to choose a favourite today. Just me. I can be quirky when I am a little bit tired. :mrgreen:
