25 Jul 2007Been mega stressed out recently with my photography.
All my shots have been appearing different on other peoples monitors. I tested them out on 5 different screens in studios that were "Supposed" to be Calibrated and they all show different things (Some technician is comming over friday to take a peek). They are either lacking contrast / Wrong colour Balance / Too dark.
Anyway this is what ive worked on recently.
Was sat watching the Starlings and they was doing some pretty wierd stuff.
This next shot, i wanted to create a Silloette. Capturing the colours of the foliage behind the birds as a backdrop. A more abstract piece.

That second one, the focus in it is way cool.
How do u do that focussing manually on the fly like that. Coz u wouldnt have had much time to take photo before birdies fly away? -
26 Jul 2007Well i usually setup my camera, plan the shot, then when the birdys arrive it take a burst of about 20-30 shots in space of 10 seconds.
This was shot on Manual Auto Focus (As i call it). I basically set the lens on autofocus then i can then tweak manually once locked on focus (My lens allows me too) and since its a Sigma HSM lens its fast glass.
Shots taken on F2.8 - 640 iso (Usually ill work on 200-400 iso but it wasnt a particually sunny day was quite dull)
Also for the second shot, the trick was metering my exposure on the foliage behind the birds. Luckily the foreground was in the shade so they was in a lot darker environment to the background creating the shot you see
