Unlike other shots of the same genre, yours is significantly more 
subtle. And therefore it just works!

Works for me.

I've been trying similar stuff with the new camera the last couple of days.

Well seen, Jostein. Tiny nits; even though the background is nicely OOF, 
ideally it could have been even softer. Oat shape is extremely nice, but can't 
help wishing I could see a little less stem.

Re: PESO - oats

2008-09-25 Thread Bob Sullivan
Jostein,
I love the lighting of the oats, but find the horizon distracting.
The blue of the sky or the tan of the fields would be a better background.
The strong three bands behind the oats is pulling my attention away
from the oats.
Were you trying for something special there?
Regards,  Bob S.

Well, the fill flash does make itself known.  It certainly dims the
background a bit - kind of gives a contrast boost to the oats.  I
think I would like to see just a bit less flash and a slight boost to
the background light.  Hope you did lots of experiments.

As is all too often the case, my message was not that clear. :/
What I intended was that had the stem been slightly shorter, the seed head 
would have been slightly further to the right.

Re: PESO - oats

2008-09-25 Thread AlunFoto
Dave, Mike, Jack, Bob S., Ken, Bruce, John S., Ann,

Thanks for taking time to comment!
The decision to pop the flash in the first place was to mute the
background relative to the straw. As some of you remarked, it's not
all together unobtrusive still.

It is just another one of those situations where I thought I had a
good idea, and wasn't quite able to execute it the envisioned way. My
other attempts falls short of that too, but I'll have another look
next time I sit down by my desktop PC, Hopefully Tuesday or
Wednesday... :-)

Off to chase the colours of autumn for a couple of days.
