Anyway, enough of the tech-talk -- let me share some pictures I took during the picnic:
All but the fourth and fifth pictures in this series were taken with the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 lens set at f/2.8 (the other lens used was the Nikon 70-200mm VR). The 50mm lens is crazy-good.
(Shot with the Nikon D300 using the 50mm and 70-200mm VR zoom, and the SB-800 flash; auto white balance; flash compensation set to -0.7 or -1.0; normal JPG.)
Beautiful pics. Love the variety of color. I love the 50mm, but sadly, it's probably my least used lens too.
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic images! You really did a great job, and your focus is razor sharp. Wow!
ReplyDeleteDid you use any particular post processing on those pictures when you were done? They are so gorgeous and I love the color!
the only picture that i did any adjusting on is just the second one (it was too dark for my taste). i added a bit more exposure to it. but then the white fur started to disappear so i compromised. on my laptop screen it looks a little too blue still.
ReplyDeleteIs the fifth one down a greyhound? I've never seen one with long hair like that on its ears -- too cute. Your photography is just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteit's a saluki. there were two of them (the picture of the other one wasn't that good). they're wonderful dogs.
DeleteWhat lovely head shots. How I love those hound faces.
ReplyDeletemaybe i ought to photograph their other parts, too.
DeleteBeautiful shots of beautiful hounds!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful hounds.
