we've had the most incredible rain falls over the last couple of days .. yesterday i took katee for a walk on the firetrail .. i love trying to catch her on 'film' when she's running thru the small creek that forms after exceptionally heavy rain ..
i've started experimenting with flash photography especially when its too dark to take a photograph of a moving subject, like katee, in this sort'v environment .. i'm still learning about aperture and shutter speeds & how they can drastically alter the resulting image when using flash .. i dont have an external flash ..
there's some excellent info about flash photography in here if anyone's interested .. canon 100mm - not close enough also info about macro photography too .. altho i dont totally agree with everything that's been said .. like tripods for instance .. trying to set up a tripod when shooting a dragonfly, for example, when he's there for a very limited time and any movement you make could frighten him off, doesnt compute to me ..
this is the original to give you an idea of how the lighting looked with the flash on those camera settings ..
i used these two photographs as overlays that i took looking out the windscreen during the rain .. i processed them thru my raw program for the colours ..
this is another one of katee with a similar treatment ..
Having looked at the photo before reading your explanation, I have to say this is very strong stuff. "Don't Look Back" is the perfect caption, because it seems like she is being pursued. Another great one. You are really on a roll.
The Fairy Tale Pup - she's on a mission to rescue something from somewhere. It's really, really good, Roz. The overlays you used are fantastic, creating the most atmosphere I've seen in a long time. Wonderful. XO
