Nice shots! I love tortoises, they look like such little characters! The first one is great, nice detail :) the second one would be better if u had got the tortoise's head more in focus rather than its shell...just imo. I'm afraid I cant help you with any technical stuff! :LOL: the lighting looks pretty good to me :)
 
Hi DaveP

Sorry I don't want to Hijack your thread but here's a shot of our female Herman Tortoise, just though you might like to see her she is 7 years old now we have had her from 8 months old, and a right character. Love the expression on the first 1, good POV on both

Love the first one, its a great shot. I have to be honest though Im not sure it suits a white background. Although if youre practising lighting its a great idea. :)
 
Toothie - Thanks for the comments and yes I'm just trying to learn about lighting

davenjulie - Thanks and what a cracking looking lady, I must admit when my kids talked me into getting our's I was sceptical as I thought they'd be a little boring but oh my god he's more trouble than the dog...and yes they definatley have a personnality.... - Just got to add we named our's after Gibbo who is also a TT member :LOL:

HanC - Thanks for the comments

I don't like the second shot, I LOVE IT

The way you have focused in on the shell and not the face is perfection

Hello DaveP Like the first shot looks like the work is paying off. :clap:
The second one would have been a good one if the head (eyes) had been in focus. :|
If hes mooving too fast try him in the garden where it might slow him down a bit still use the reflectors etc and shoot away as he moves into shot (y)
 
Techno-Geek i'd like to say i ment to focus on the shell and not the face but the little swine decided to make a dash for freedom!!!!!!!!!

Ewan - I know and as above the swine moved

Gibbo - Thanks for the comments, suppose i'll have to cut the grass :bang: and give it a go
