Lads/lasses I'd appreciate brutality in the crit simply you are looking at a couple of weeks of me throwing everything I have at what essentialy seemed at the out set,not really possible. the image is made from me front door. the famiily come here because I feed the birds. . The front door I have sort of replaced so I can keep the house secure but have a hole at the bottom for me to make images through and no issues with shooting through glass, I'll probably detail what exactly has gone on elsewhere.
Specifically why I'masking for brutality in crit is the image is made at night, under continuous lighting. Maybe i'm a sad old git ,but I just hate the idea of using flash on animals at night. So I have never done anything like this or made an image in this way before, haven't a ruddy clue what i'm doing So I'm desparately open to anyone else's thoughts re lighting post processing anything really .
I have largely had to video them because very simply I am so damn close they can hear everything. i'd tried all incarnates of shutter ,but the 1dxii is so bloody loud.:banghead: Anyway with that gale last night came that OMG moment after i'd made the same mistake twice:. simply if I put the mirror up or let it come down ,to go in or out of live view,fox will spook. But the wiind last niight covered it and two mistakes later cubins was still here. Fella spooked before I got my act together, but when she ( I think) came back I tried to take my chance
Canon 1DX mark ii 400DO IS II no crop made @ 400mm 1/ 200 f4 ISO 6400 In DPP 4 No adjust to WB camera set to 4100K lights set to 4110K ( Lit with 3 rotolight neos ) In PS I have only made a mask to selectively NR the bkg and sharpen subject. I wanted to present this as close as possible to what came off the camera as it's shot at night with lights,so you can see it sort of as honestly as possible. i'm utterly out of my confort zone having never used flash o lights in any way until a couple of weeks back
Many thanks for constructive advice and thoughts. .

LMFAO I'm sat here beyond bewildered, the things we put ourselves through to try and make an image . Making fake front doors barely a nights sleep for weeks hours and hours reading about lights then hours trying to find a way to buy them trying to find some form of silly deal that I could afford. Then trying to work out how on earth to use them. i've made no bones about the fact I'd love to do this as a day job.. i'm sort of stuck on no mans land shielding due to C19 barely working . So I've tried to hit this like a pro might ,taken an ethos of anything I can do I will : I have no excuses not to, I ain't running a ladder or doing hundreds of meters on my knees tomorrow on some god forsaken building site .. I mention this not in a way of emphasising the efforts i've made it's not that at all , It's just reinforced to me how hard a prowildife tog really works just how much effort goes into a project and how deadicated these guys are I have so much respect for them I had it anyway but this has really driven that home
cheers for reading all this i've barely mentioned the distraction into video. Just so stunned to have piccy to post . .
take care all
