I would like to say that it took skill and lots of field craft but the jaguars are really unperturbed by boats! Yes we could get clos and use of articulating screens helped get lower pov
The downside of trips like this are the 1000s of photos to sort and edit. The pressure is also on as SWMBO wants a book of the trip for Christmas
. Am posting a few pics on my Flickr over time but will post some on here. Thank youStu - Shaz is obviously a woman of impeccable taste!!John they are super.2 sets of eyes looking Shaz simply said wow she is very critical mate !! Very few images I show her get a wow
Bud being nit picky I'd like to see the whole frame on the first I love neg space and just a smidge off the back of 2nd, as always beautiful frames deserve debate. Love the action in the second, but I think the first edges it for me........Buddy talk me through the techs gear used please?
So glad your trip was wonderful ha preddy jealous right now I'd adore seeing a jag
I'm not traveled but the one thing I took form Ian's images was how much a fight the harsh light could be..............mind that's the way of the world with wildlife.)........ the second one,it's ( jag) so big so powerful is needs more space than the first pictureThank you Stu - apologies for the delay in responding but grandchild #3 arrived and is in ICU. Thank you for your input and thoughts - signed copies are available for your better halfs christmasHa yup.shes also blummin brutal with crit you did well my fried no way I could repeat some of her comments.she sort of takes ya head off at the waist John
I have nowt but admiration for both of you John and the images made and yes OMG YES, isn't it the hard thing choosing to see through a viewfinder or one's eye...I do that with hares I see oft.......have no idea where my head would be with a Jag infront of me on a boat with others
Ok I'm gonna go there..mate with a slight correction for water level honestly I'd take your FF...my base mantra is here "stu if ya want a portrait frame a portrait,or simply I feel I failed the scene in front of me"......that's part of this for sure...........but moreso my take on my failings is a very simplistic take
mate with a plethera of outside factors ; boat, others, a freakin' Jaguar right in front of you, camera techs etc etc etc.your gut, your instinct, framed the above.our opinions may differ bud ,but trust where your guts went.
Honestly I don't think you needed to throw all those pixies away to crop to portrait...ran this by Shaz which one babe? Oh god they are ace...( shuush already
your Ff in landscape could have a tweak to waterlevel a snip off the LHS an top.and although your personal opinion is way more valid than mine or my lady's when ya framed your gut instincts framed...
when we think about things we don't always better ourselves.
Does that make sense bud?
Thanks Stu, agree about the pressie and all going ok so farNo probs.me olde mate huge grats and love and thoughts that ICU is short lived and all is well.that'll be the best chrimbo pressie we all could wish for
