Seen as we mght actually see some hares soon...ahh man the excitement, I though I'd celebrate with one from last year

Funny this, for a wild thang you are looking at a complete set up, but I never did nuffin alteration wise :LOL: Just fieldcraft ,one of those fab spots to make an image in lovely low veggies loads of hares visiting because there is a cracking food source they love just besides this. A gorgeous valley to give me bkgs . they all stack up to give this sort of mush sharp ( hopefully) mush image I love trying to make

I like our chats so much of what we say to each other goes flying over the other guy's head :LOL: sorry buddy you have lost me...not hard is it:D
 
I understand that you are trying to point out something to do with my use of the word mush , but i'm clueless as to what it is Roger

Just trying to understand what you mean :)
 
Ahh gotcha my bad :) By mush I mean OOF foreground and back ground,

Basically because of the shallow DOF ( relative to subject distance obviously) nothing else in the image bar the subject can be identified , So the DOF (coupled with the low POV) gives me an image where everything bar my subject is turned into " mush"

It's a style of image I really like trying to make Roger, where everything in my picture only hints to what is actually there,apart from my subject, which should hopefully be pin sharp on the eye

. Obviously as the image maker I need certain conditions to achieve this which I actively seek If there is anything too close fore or aft, then the dof wont throw everything else oof , or turn it into "mush", if you like.

I personally find the results of this type/ style of frame very attractive,

Sorry for the confusion mate I just couldn't figure out what you were asking

Does this^^^^ help ? .
 
Think it will be winter for me before I get close to getting out to see my locals , but as much as I envy you , I look forward to see how yours are doing . Nice pic with lovely " Mush " . :D:D:D
 
Well, 'mush' is a new one on me I have to say! It seems the definition should be 'OOF foreground or background'. Maybe we can get it in the dictionary if we use it enough!

I agree, very nice framing with the Hare resplendent in between the 'mush'!! :LOL:

Nice shot Stu, hardly seen a hare all year meself... :)
 
Fieldcraft. I like that. Presented as seen. We should have a topic for that.

Back in the day, I filed out the edges of my negative carrier so I could make a print of the whole negative with a black border and a hint of sprocket holes. Getting to use that border meant I nailed it.
 
Lads mush is a deeply technical term,we should all be using it, :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :exit: Mush sharp mush, has a certain ring to it OOF foreground sharp subject OOF background , doesn't slip of the tongue the same......................

I've lost haven't I:runaway::runaway::LOL:

Oh god I'm hopeless, I have no idea where I've picked this up from, mind you lot are all smiling so all good !!

Si forgive me, I 'm more than a little mad, I guess that why these hares sort of accept me at times Cheers for the flickr follow and the kind words on my hare.

Ken I love talking about how we ponder making a wildlife image. As above i'm never going to be the most articulate guy to have a chat with, sadly . I suspect this image represent a completely different mind set to how most including me usually make a wildlife frame.. what I mean is most of us go somewhere ,to a habitat and make images as they come. Whereas here, I tried to find a particular spot where everything would come together:, the vegetation including specific heights of veggies, the lie of the land the light direction to give me a chance of a particular type of image . I find that thought processes , more similar to how I think with my foxes, where I'm in a completely set up artificial environment, not out in the field . That fascinates me Ken



cheers for all the replies /likes

take care guys

nah....mushy............... partially mushed:LOL: but one can still discern peas Mushy would mean I didn't get the job right half me veggies would be visable and me subject wouldn't pop the same:rolleyes:

I don't understand why these technical terms are flying over everyone's head? Mind it's good loads of replies and I didn't even need to post an image


You do see the smile on my face don't ya mate;)
 
I guess I mush be doing sommit right then Russ :exit:

'Ere Russ am I the only one waiting for a husky to turn up , we best not go there had we, it's definitely going to fly over alot of heads:LOL: I told Shaz about this, she just said "ahh bless you are are helping all these young people with their English", I love that it is so untrue !!
