Beautiful. That is the reason that I want a 500mm as well. Leave it
alone. I love it! -G |

"Tennessee" refers to where this groups biggest jackass lives. He just
happens to create his images with photoshop instead of a camera. Bokeh
is applied using photoshop's "blur tool" to produce a plastic replica
of a real photograph. I suspect this is why he calls his images "pics"
and not photos... Because he creates them in a computer from images
stolen from other photographers and occasionally ones taken with a
camera he claims was a gift from a stranger.
http://www.annika1980.com pretty much describes what this jackass gets
up to. >> Stay informed about: Making Plastic And Tennessee Bokeh!! |

Hehehe! You should see the bokeh I get from my Nikkor 500:
it's the mirror one.

A better shot. Apart from the control of the highlights, the off
centre composition, the twig and the direction of his look, all
balance it up better imwo.
However, one last thing I didn't mention before (I try to be kind, but
we are striving for perfection, aren't we?) I do think you need to
watch your colour balance - the blue shadows are rather noticeable.
Ah, takes me back to the original Provia...
Anyway, it's good to see you are listening and learning. Well done
Rita.
And it's ok, you really don't have to mention my name on your site.
After all, I'm just one of those idiots you are entertaining and not
taking any serious notice of...... (O: >> Stay informed about: Making Plastic And Tennessee Bokeh!! |

Slap a 1.4x on there & you've got 420mm f/4 (630mm equivalent on a D3).
The 1.4 teleconverter works well on the 70-200. >> Stay informed about: Making Plastic And Tennessee Bokeh!! |

I am going to put a spanner in the works again bud. Ordinarily I
wouldn't post, but just because it's you...
You need to get closer.
The light is not good. Well actually terrible.
I haven't looked at the histogram, but I can see straight away that the
blacks aren't black. Well, maybe they are black, but the log under the
claws doesn't look right, as it's too light, the tail too. Looks like a
scan in fact.
Background, well, I don't know what to make of that, but it's not bad. Just
looks strange, but I wasn't there.
Noise/grain, I think that this was cropped or shot on film. Are you sure
this was taken on a D3? Not used a D3, but doesn't look right. My 20D
would blow this out of the water.
Looks too blue in the shadow areas.
Overall, there is something strange about this photo. I don't really care
to be honest, but for me I think that this was shot on 35mm film. Possibly
Fuji.

Oh dear. Watch where you tread next time, as you never know what will
get stuck on your shoe. You neatly picked an image that is a good
test for monitor calibration... The fact that you *believe* that it
is over a third 'totally black' tells me two things:
1. Your screen gamma and/or blackpoint is wrongly set. You should be
able to *just* make out the two figures at left. Feel free to check
this on a properly calibrated screen. Maybe the kids next door might
have one?
2. Spotting subleties, and understanding of low-key images are yet to
be added to your repertoire. Let's just stick to snapshots for now.
But that's ok. We already have got to the point where you are
*listening* - you're on the high road, Rita. Just get that screen
adjusted - that may explain some of the problems in your postings, by
the way. >> Stay informed about: Making Plastic And Tennessee Bokeh!! |
