Pictures of wild life

Love this smiley face one!

oh yes, I have, love watching that show... spectacular footage and so interesting, thats real TV!

if you have not got the DVD - grab it now, it's £20 and included those behind the scene footage which is also extremely interesting to learn how they managed to get each shot (especially the cave of shit!).

will do, cave of shit? bats?

I think that was bat guano yes and I have to agree my favourite part about is the behind the scenes bits..

just dug these out from a holiday in tobago a few years ago, cannot wait to go back

Great pics!

Totally, I was feeding it cake. That gets 'em every time...

Did you overexpose slightly for the cow pictures? They are really nice, very similar to the creamy tones from Portra 160 when it's overexposed a smidge.

(Sweet camera choice btw!)

Only accidentally, I'm still getting used to the rangefinder, never used one before a couple of months ago and these were my first rolls of colour slides from one. Unfortunately quite a few mistakes out of a dozen rolls of E6 (expensive) but it's good experience I guess.

I also didn't adjust for framing correctly. I spent about half an hour sitting right underneath one of the cows with the lens a few inches from its nose being super careful to just fill the frame and paying particular attention to focus to get it to rest just on the eyes but none of them came out at all well which was rather deflating.

Is the rangefinder fully calibrated? I have a Zorki 4k that was fine when I bought it, then two housemoves later I found that the rangefinder part must have been knocked a bit off and my last roll in that camera ended up useless.

Hmm, might be a possibility. I was pretty sure the close ups were going to be spot on so to see them so badly out of frame and focus was a little odd.
I'm probably just making excuses for inexperience but I'll certainly check it out..

beautiful pix, Dylan

i keep finding them on the net, every time i find a good one, i post and share it....
wildlife is beautiful wherever you are.

agreed.

the colors are amazing,I like the detail of the wing span & its feathers-the ridges.

it is one amazing shot - i love the contrasting colours, but equally metallic texture, of the electric blue feathers and the copper-orange tap

i think that gecko shot is fantastic too - the foreground defocus and the way it's tail and the matting become soft and indistinguishable works to the whole camouflage thing brilliantly
