    Chloe was a great subject
    Well I had some fun with this one. I decided to use my Newfoundland Chloe as the subject. I messed around with lighting, angles, flash curtains... pretty much all the stuff that I learned that my camera could do to try and get some cool shots. Some came out better then others.

    I think I might go back in and touch this one up in Photoshop a little later but I like the composition and the fact that Chloe is not all black.

    exif info

    The rest of the shots are in This Gallery There will be a total of 19 once they are done uploading. I figure I learn more from my less expected eek7.gif shots headscratch.gif then I do from the ones that turned out perfect.

    Glad you had a nice workout! Good profile! thumb.gif
    I only wish the background wasn't so distracting. That chair leg growing right from her nose..ne_nau.gif

    Thanks. What is odd is that I did not even notice the chair. A fresh perspective helps.

    It's a well-known pure psychological issue. Human vision is task oriented. We concentrate so much on the "important" things, that we literally don't see the rest. But the camera, it does not care, it records everything.

    These are from another track event this past weekend. Also these are all straight out of the camera, with no post processing (yet....).

    Classic lines, at speed...

    Tried getting even closer shots, but was tough getting a clear image at the desired shutter speed, with a 100-400MM handheld.

    This is my son, who can't stop grinning (his first track event wings.gif )

    And would this group of spectators qualify?

    Hey, I'll take pics for cookies !
    I went to see our neighbor's grandson and thought it would be a perfect time to get a profile. I never got a decent one of the baby though. But, I did manage this one. 162304725-M.jpg

    Wish the dog was in profile too. :D

    It's just a little bit off to be a 100% perfect profile, but it will do:-)
