Kenj8246 Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #1 · Early morning shade Seem to be fixated on Carter Creek lately. Oh well, I'm gonna shoot it while it lasts. The damsel numbers seem to be dwindling. It also didn't help that the highway maintenance crews cut down most of the tall weeds on the creek bank, but it also seems to be a popular fishing hole with the locals. Witnessed a guy getting written up by the state wildlife agent the other day for taking under the slot limit fish. But, I digress... #1 Damsel (not a lotta light under the bridge this morning, so had to 'light them up') #2 This one is really pretty and I didn't do it justice #3 Damsel Note to Lextalionis: the damsels were shot with autofocus #4 Spectacular grasshopper oblique view(translation: he was on a fenceline and I couldn't get a bette angle ) #5 Grasshopper profile #6 Tighter head shot of same hopper #7 Damp early morning hanky panky Sorry for the long post, but, to paraphrase LeeAnkers, 'today was a good day'. Thanks for looking, comments always welcomed. Kenny Oct 03, 2008 at 03:43 PM

lextalionis Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #2 · Early morning shade Oh boy Kenny...very nice...the bokeh is so nice with that Siggy 150mm. -Roy Oct 03, 2008 at 04:01 PM

Kenj8246 Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #3 · Early morning shade Thanks Roy. I left you that note about autofocus? My Siggy does a good job most of the time by itself or with the Siggy 1.4x TC. When I strap tubes on it, all bets are off, it mostly hunts. But, I'm thinking that we need to leave room for me to either shoot with the TC or without when we make the camera mount hole. Don' think I wanna try to run extension with the ringlight. Maka de sense? Kenny Oct 03, 2008 at 04:12 PM

Tim Dollear Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #4 · Early morning shade very cool. The detail of the wing in #2 is great, as is the angle on #4 and the crop in #6. Nice Bokeh too, Kenny. I don't blame you for going back to that same spot. Oct 03, 2008 at 04:21 PM

Kenj8246 Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #5 · Early morning shade Thanks Tim. Uhh...actually #6 is not a crop, just moved in closer and recomposed. Now, #7 is a crop. There was some OOF foreground that ruined the shot for me. But we'll keep the cropping business amongst ourselves. Kenny Oct 03, 2008 at 04:28 PM

Dalantech Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #6 · Early morning shade Love the hoppers Kenny Damsels are tough to light -very reflective. Try setting your FEC to -1 (or more) and then bump the exposure in post if you need to. Look at the LCD and adjust the FEC until there is some space to the right of the histogram.

Kenj8246 Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #7 · Early morning shade Thanks John. Daggum hoppers are hard to spot early, I usually have to make two passes to find 'em. Kenny Oct 03, 2008 at 05:40 PM

Kenj8246 Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #10 · Early morning shade Yeah, Phil, they do. I was shooting with extension + TC and couldn't fit it all in. Sometimes everything just doesn't fit. Oct 03, 2008 at 07:10 PM

Tom Hicks Online Moderator Image Upload: On p.1 #20 · Early morning shade Kenny you did fine , some times it better not to use the flash , depending on the subjects it can wash out colors and other it can enhance. Oct 07, 2008 at 01:21 AM
