Every once in a while these days I get to go out and photograph something for the heck of it. I was able to head outdoors with my 3 year old so we walked around looking for more of these small guys. Some shots are pretty well cropped. Used the Nikon D4, 300mm f4 and the TC 1.4.
The first guy...

Looks like Oregon clouds!
I like the balance in the first. The boat on the left and the structure work well together.

You hit the nail on the head. One thing I've been trying to work with more recently is the low angle winter afternoon sunlight (when we have it). For example today I was taking photos at 4:00pm and in the spring and summer it would have been brutal, sharp overhead light. This time of year I have...

I'm working on taking some marketing photos for a local GM dealership and have been doing some blending work to be able to get that soft light on the vehicle and the correct sky exposure. This involved taking the two photos in PS and layering them and fading one through the other. This is a...

I have been doing some limited video work for a client which has made me look more into the time-lapse feature on the D4 camera. I think some of this may carry over to the D800?
There is a setting in the camera menu (under time-lapse photography) that allows a person to capture a series of...

To get the light off the grass and more on the engine, lift it up on a light stand and mount with a $3 flash bracket. One of my most used investments.

I like lighting with speedlights but big car, truck or train shots with little strobe flashes will often create choppy, hard light in only small sections because you have to be close for power reasons and the light is so small in relation to the vehicle. I work for a car dealership taking photos...

Hey E, did come up with something you liked? I curious to see how it came out...

Thanks Janice, I have always liked the blk/tan German Shepards and this one is just like them without the traditional color. Most people think she's albino :)
-
The fence coming out of her mouth in this one isn't great and the sky throws the first one off a little but there is definitely some good contrast.

We got a new puppy a while back, a white German Shepard. They are a pretty rare dog but one of the best dogs I've seen. Now she's old enough to get out and has a great time playing (jumping) in the back yard.

Thanks Bill I'l let the agent know.

This house had a little man-made stream and a couple of small falls. I thought it really added something to the yard and had to take a photo for the listing.

I was out yesterday photographing a house for a real estate listing and I had to get a shot of this little waterfall in the backyard. Makes me want to install some water features at my house

Better comparison:
Here the clouds are out, inside a barn with no windows or clear panels, all doors shut except for about a 1" opening
ISO 51,200, zoom set at 120mm and 200mm using Nikon D4 camera,
Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 lens @ 1/750 and f3.3.

No problem. I may go to my horse barn at dusk and take the same photo with those potted flowers just for kicks to see what the difference really is. I can probably get the same lighting...
-
WOW harsh :) I don't shoot at an arena or have an arena close by that would be difficult. Next time I'm out shooting night sports, I'll post some shots at 51k but then the advantage would go to the arena shooting. Some arenas have clear panels or open sides so its hard for me to determine what...

Comparison shot for the Nikon D4: I think I have an advantage as far as lighting but this is at ISO51,200 (HI2). Its amazing what the new technologies do in terms of ISO.

Good photo of the blackbird and I also like the reflection of the second one. Nice clean shots.
