Re: PESO - Skimming Across the Lake
I like natural monochromes. In this case, I like how you timed the exposure perfectly to get one swan with its wings up and the other, down. And dare I say it...the horizon is not tilted ;-) —M. \/\/o/\/\ -- http://WorldOfMiserere.com http://EnticingTheLight.com A Quest for Photographic Enlightenment On 28 May 2011 10:47, frank theriault knarftheria...@gmail.com wrote: I know I posted a couple of flying swan pix last year, but damn it, I think they're beautiful birds, and seeing these big guys in flight is most awe-inspiring (at least to me): http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/skimming-across-lake.html This was taken last weekend.

And dare I say it...the horizon is not tilted ;-) And I don't even think I had to rotate this one! ;-) As for the wingbeats, I can't say that I timed it that way (one up, one down), I just snapped and there it was. Actually, I was disappointed that they weren't synchronized. All other flying swan pix I've taken feature the wings flapping in unison (pretty cool, actually). Still, I'm happy with this one. Thanks for the comment, and thanks to everyone else who looked and commented. cheers, frank -- Sharpness is a bourgeois concept. -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: PESO - Skimming Across the Lake
Has a nice feel and appeal. You were right not to try to make too much of it by cropping or doing limited crop it as the case may be. For me, the open expanse suits the scene.
