FranVT Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Took some more photos the other day, the first few (sorry not sure exactly which ) are with the 18-55 and the later ones are the 55-200 (Nikon D5000). My ex and I are slowlyslowly starting to hang out as mates, he is a good offroad driver so he was teaching me how to drive my new Jeep on the beach safely Luuka got to use her tried-and-tested theory with regards to how to get the ball from a larger, faster dog: chase after them, when they get the ball bark as ferociously as possible then when they drop it in surprise GRAB IT AND RUN BACK TO MUMMY! (NB: My car is not really small, my ex is just super tall ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranVT Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Now my main problem, again, is that the light is too much for Luuka at this time. Too bright. That much is obvious. And my focus could be better on some of them, obviously I need a faster shutter speed I think is that right? I tried to use the manual focus but yeah didn't succeed really I'm not worried it's all good practice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megan_ Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Love the first one. It is like they're just strolling along asking eachother "so how are you coping with the break-up?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranVT Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Love the first one. It is like they're just strolling along asking eachother "so how are you coping with the break-up?" Or like Luuka is saying 'HAI BIG BROTHER, DO YA MISS ME? HUH? DO YA? HUH?" and he is hanging his head in exhaustion Poor fella. He loved it though, the dog that belongs to our mate that's moved into my old place is very very stupid and timid, not the dog's fault but the owner's (don't get me started) and she doesn't know how to play it seems. Luuka and Atlas dug a lovely hole together right between my ex's legs (see the beginning of it in the last pic) they are a very good team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macka Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Looking good Fran! 2nd lot look better as they have greater contrast, compared to the 1st lot which look a little washed out. It's always going to be tricky shooting a black dog and a white dog together in the same frame. I think you've done pretty well! Focus looks good to me on most of them - you're never going to get every shot in focus when you're shooting a running dog. Faster shutter speeds help but if you can still easily miss the focus. You will get better at this with practice. Does your camera have different focussing modes to play around with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranVT Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 The later ones are definitely with the 55-200 lens, on the same mode. Yes I believe it does macka, I am still learning all the (seemingly endless) modes and combinations so I'll stick with it I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macka Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Some lenses are much faster focussing than others as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
