Re: PESO: Red Native
I like the framing and the background is perfect. Seems a schoosh over sharp to me. Good eye Trevor Dave Brooks G'day All. Well, this is my very first PESO. I was out this afternoon getting some trigger time with the *ist Ds. I really liked the look of this Red Native against the bark of the Spotted Gum (Eucalyptus Maculata) as a back drop. I welcome all comments on this Image. I am eager to learn. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3829516 Thanks. Hooroo. Regards, Trevor. Grafton.

RE: PESO: Red Native
G'day All. Thanks to all for the comments on my first PESO. Kenneth. The leaves on the LRH side. I tried to move to the left, but I lost the background. I couldn't break them off due to the fact that the missus would have kicked my arse. Jack. The sharpness was straight out of the *ist Ds on default settings 6Mpixel Jepg. Paul. Thanks. The colour was what caught my eye. Tim. The light was coming from the right at about 3 O'clock. Bruce. You're right of course. A lower angle may have improved the overall image, including looking directly into the flower. I only took one exposure of the flower. Must get used to having a DELETE button on a camera, thus allowing more goes to get it right unlike film :-) Frank. Thanks heaps. Rod. You must be the King of lateral thinking. I would never have thought of Styrofoam as a reflector. In hind sight, this would have been the duck guts, rather than using the pop-up flash. I intended to reshoot it this afternoon, using the suggestions from the list. However we are in the middle of a severe thunderstorm with hail the size of tennis balls. Once again, Thanks to all who responded. Hooroo. Regards, Trevor. Grafton, Australia -Original Message- From: Trevor Bailey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: PESO: Red Native G'day All.

RE: PESO: Red Native
G'day Steve. Thanks for the feedback. I was intending to use the pop-up flash for fill flash due to the sun being low in the sky and lighting the scene from the low right of the image. Hooroo.

Re: PESO: Red Native
A good eye a wonderful capture. My only nit is the intruding leave tip on the LRH side. Other than that I'd say its purfect! Looks like you might be ready to teach.

Re: PESO: Red Native
Trevor, Like it! If mine, I'd want to try a 'wink' flash for pedal balance. I'd not, however, want to include the background in the flash range. May not be available to you to re-shoot and, if not, it's terrific as is. Alas, I can't help feeling that sharpening is near to being a bit much.

RE: PESO: Red Native
I like the background. The composition is good. Still I can't make up my mind. The shadows don't look right. I can't figure out the direction of the natural light. This disturbs me.

Re: PESO: Red Native
Hello Trevor, Glad that you shared with us. It is always nice to see others work and to be able to provide comments. For me, this image is a bit over the top with the flash. Rather than being fill, it lights up the flower and green parts too much so that it doesn't blend at all with the background. Now this could just be me, but it causes it to jump out in an unnatural way. I'm not much of a fill flash person when it comes to plants (use it quite a bit with weddings and portraits though). I think you spotted something that does have merit with it's colors and the background. I would have also like to see a lower angle - more looking directly at the open blossom. Not sure if it would be better, but certainly worth the effort. I know with my stuff, I'll spot what I want to shoot, but take several frames with different perspectives and different DOF. Many times my first image is not the one of choice. My 2 bits... -- Best regards, Bruce Wednesday, October 26, 2005, 3:36:00 AM, you wrote: TB G'day All. TB Well, this is my very first PESO.
