Tree's, dogs, and baby birds

El-Mariachi · Apr 12, 2004

Here's a quick selection of my latest photo's from this week, been doing some animal photography this week by chance, thought some of them came out well. All comments & suggestions welcome.

UPDATE, pictures back up, host probs

This one is a baby sparrow I found last night after a cat ran off and left it. Liked how this one came out. Shame i had to leave it for the cats, but thats natures way..

A walk in the countryside

Bruce the springer spaniel is obviously up to something, you can see the glint in his eye

Shot of a friends golden retriever for a UK disability dog publication, think it came out well.

I present Troy, the amazing six legged dog.....well kinda...

Please let me know what u guys & gals think

The first one is really good, with a great composition, and depressing at the same time.

The red x's are really nicely done too.

Wow. Some amazing shots there. Love #'s 3, 4, 5. #6 made me laugh my ass off.

As someone who has "notorious problems" with wide angle shots herself, I do like your second photo here, the "walk in the countryside"! To me, this just "hits the theme".

OF COURSE, I like the third one with the sun rays through the trees, but then I am wondering if you did something to it to enhance them so?

The glint in Bruce's eye is --- mischievous

.
I think I'd also like that one as a "portrait only" crop, i.e. just Bruce's face and "smile". (Well, this is just me wondering aloud...)

The sun through the tree's is un-enhanced, just managed to spot it at the right time, didn't even adjust Brightness/contrast on it

Oh and heres the portrait of bruce as you asked

Well, okaaaaaayyyyyy, Brucie - I get the message!

This is really a nice group of images. Knowing the story behind #1 makes it a bit haunting. I wish there were a tad more information in the shadow of the bird; I find it a too dark. Good, but too dark.

Your dog photos are really fine! You've captured some excellent animal moments and expressions here.

Agreed, Im using a canon G5 myself, tried using 3 sec exposure with a f2 ap. Couldn't really go longer on the shutter as it was moving about quiet a bit.

Any suggestion's on how to get more light on the shadows? Was using iso 400 on the camera but it didn't enhance the light as much as i would have hoped.
