:r maybe sometime this week Shane

Brad, wtf is with using photobuckrt and not Flickr! :sl

Re: Photography Thread
 

Not gonna happen. Only way for me to achieve that is with a big soft box to put the cat in with a hole for the lens. Don't have one and surely not going to buy or build one :r

Re: Photography Thread
 

Just line one of these with tissue paper!

:r not the same. Lights not gonna penetrate the brown board. I still need light, just soft light not harsh direct light.

Re: Photography Thread
 

No no you did not recommend a box o'joe :sl

Re: Photography Thread
 

Yah I was kidding, although you could cut out the sides and apply tissue paper. At least that is how the youtube instructions do it :r

Looks like a sharp-shinned hawk...

OK question answering time.....
A.) Justin already built a soft box, not sure how he liked it considering he says he has none.
B.) I think of Flickr as more of a 'portfolio' website, and the Bucket is more of a
dump site. The only things that I put on Flickr are things I want to be associated
with in terms of what I do artistically. The bucket is more for putting test images,
images to link to for the Asylum....cat pics, stuff like that.

Re: Photography Thread
 

I will say one thing abotu soft boxes, I never realized how expensive a decent one light soft setup was til I quit working
for TV stations. Every commercial production department I ever worked for, we had one or two. The other day I went
looking for a decent one for my side venture and I almost pooped a wombat. Those things, the kind you mount to
a tungsten lamp fixture on a lightstand, OUCH! I didn't want one so bad anymore. I looked at one just now, 16x22",
no lamp or stand, $175. Well, after poking around, I CAN get a flourescent one from a cheaper maker for $50. But still....

I'll give that P510 credit, it has a LOOOoong zoom lens on it. If I am not mistaken its 1000mm equivalent.
I can name all those species, provided that is a river otter and not a beaver.

And I let the feet make me wrong....that's a COOPER'S HAWK.....sorry.

Re: Photography Thread
 

Correct it is a river otter which was by far the hardest pic to take. Little bastard kept going under and popping up out of range!

The gators were actually kind of close so I didn't have to zoom it out too far but you're right, it does have a hell of a zoom. The zoom was the only way to get a picture of this little guy:
