At the campsite in Jasper, Canada 2006
So, now I've actually already extended the survey ended right at the top of the page again. I would like to ask once all to participate! Thank you. At the same today launched a special campaign for the readers of my blog, when you can get a little gift from me. But for later in this post more information ...
, I would like to present you one of my favorite pictures from Canada. It was created at that time with my beloved Nikon D70 and the Super Zoom Nikkor 18-200mm VR. We sat in the evening before our motor home, when suddenly some deer grazed within a few meters past us on the sprawling campsite. Of course, I immediately grabbed my camera and followed them carefully and in a reasonable distance. However, I was also a photo in mind that I wanted to do like: A single deer, which looks at the viewer directly, and the wonderfully contrasting stands out with his red coat against the deep green of the forest. But I had to catch up, at least to be level with the animals, actually I had to even get to position myself with my camera suitable.
This was me after a chase of about 10 minutes. As I ran, I set the camera to reasonably appropriate values to get my wishful thinking: It had obviously once again be open screen (unfortunately only 5.6 In 200mm), and I need 1100 ISO to a shutter speed of 1 / 125 seconds to come, is insufficient when the image stabilizer to obtain a clear image. One of the deer stood still for a moment I sat down in the grass and took aim, as the animal looked short to me, and I could make my photo. He then ran immediately, and the group disappeared deep in the denser forest, where a second image was possible. I look forward to this day that I took the opportunity while I had so much luck. And by the way: Does anyone of you here noise at ISO 1100? Or is interested in such a photo at all? Also in view of the large-format prints of this picture I can not really claim that the noise plays a role! For me, a good example to the people not to go into the trap of looking for a magnifying glass to the last grain, and thinking that without super expensive cameras or even full size, one could make no useful photos.
Without the quick access to camera with a super zoom I would not get this photo. I had not had time to change until long lenses. I do not know if I use a large and heavy telephoto ever so quickly would have to follow the animal without scaring it. That said, I would of course have the money for the trip had not even if I had all spent on expensive lenses ... And instinctively I anticipated with my simple equipment for the right moment. Because I had crouched me, I have a much more interesting perspective on the animal's eye level captured, and the blurred grass in the foreground contributes to the depth of the image. At first I thought the individual blades of grass, which cut across in front of the deer bother, but would on the one hand I want to retouch in any case because they were now once there (my opinion about Photoshop arts you can read here ), and other hand, also support these blades of grass, the natural effect of the candid shot. Overall, this photo is a small reward and an incentive for me if I am once again annoyed that so many other situations in all planning and patience have been of no use, and emerged again in spite of all good preparation for a usable photo is. I would like that is not create the false impression that I long nose all manage to make good pictures (even if the rate increases slowly with time). Patience, practice and perseverance are very important tools, but a photographer. Do not believe the advertising of the camera companies, which promise you that will judge the right equipment but it already!
This brings us finally to today's action, and to my gift to you what I had already promised in the last post. And although I give away a poster of one of my photos, which I have shown in this blog already, you can find it in this previous post . The graphic image with the colored light strip from the Sicilian motorway tunnel may soon belong to you, in the format of about 40x54 cm! This size makes it really eye-catching as well, especially because of the dark and bright colors, it stands out beautifully on white walls. It is of course rolled and packed stable sent to you, if you're the lucky recipient. I would also like to mention that this poster of www.clickandprint.de is. (I will not be sponsored by that company and has no other advantages.)
