Retrievers

coastalconn · Jun 3, 2013

What? I'm not posting Osprey pictures? I always see dogs when I'm out and about. Today birds were not being cooperative and the light was crappy. I do love dogs so I decided to open up the Tokina and shoot some dogs.. I am loving this lens and thought it performed pretty well wide open.. Stopped it down a touch for the last one... Comments welcome..

Very nice! I would love to see the water in #1 blue or even just not so green. The retriever looks amazing though. Id like to see 4 pulled out a little.

Thanks Parker! That was the actual color of the water SOOC. It was under a tree and was quite mucky and well green.. The light was pretty dismal, I shot it at F2.8 ISO 400 and my shutter speed was still only 1/320th (HH).. #4 is full frame un-cropped. I know I'm unorthodox but I like the up close in your face look and I somehow managed to catch 1/3 with the open eye...
