Hi,

You've probably seen Stubbsy, LostDingo and Radar's images from the meet, and I've finally got around to processing my stuff (against stiff competition

)

Click thumbnail for larger image.

A great weekend out and thanks once again to Birddog for the organisation.

Comments welcome.

Daniel, im sorry you felt you had to hang yourself :shock:

I really like the fisheye perspective, looks good, definite keeper!

Some nice shots Daniel, and you've offered a very different perspective to the others that preceeded you (I'm guessing that was mostly intentional).

But it's appreciated!

I like the noose, and the fisheye in #2, especially the way the trees looks like its reaching out.

Well worth the wait. #2 rocks and is a great use of the fish eye. I really like your compositional choice in #5. The chain across the straight lines of the image which lead us into the Keep Out sign at the end. This one's my fave of these, although I also like the detail of #1.

very nice use of the fisheye....... and good captures...... water and trees do it for me.......

#2 for me too Daniel you have framed the scene well with the tree boughs. Terrific shot

cheers

Thanks for the comments guys.

I'm quite happy with #2 as well, the fisheye added something to it. I have the same location captured with the 18-70 and it lacks something in comparison (and it doesn't have a duck... could that be it?

)

#1 - I like the DOF effect you can achieve with the 80-400 @ 400/5.6 near it's focus limit.

#5 - Stubbsy, you've picked what I was trying to do - build some sort of compositional theme out of the chain leading into the keep out sign.

Craig - the different perspective... well, you see I'm a bit different

. It wasn't really a selection thing, most of them just turned out that way...

To pick up on a recent topic, can you clone out the rope in the first picture? You know as they say, no noose is good news... :lol:

Cheers

Hi Daniel,

great set of photos. #1 and #5 I really like. #1 for it's simplicity and sharpness. I like #5 because I tried doing something similar but it didn't come out as nice as yours.

I also like the fisheye, it really worked well in that setting.

Great meeting you on the day,

Cheers,

André
