Kodiak Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 • Having a boring corporative Christmas event to shoot that day at 10:30, and since I was up and ready quite early, I went to the close by marsh to see the sunrise. I had a good (but too short) time with the light and the birds though most foliage is down. Cold, crisp, clean air granted me some cool light conditions. As always, 600mm ƒ4 @ ƒ8 on D810 combo. Have a look, have a good time! C&C welcomed… Part 2 is here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/29470-ap-•-early-morning-birds-at-the-marsh-•-part-2/ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 AP was used to clean up debris from the water surface!

TanBrae Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Oh, WOW! Wish I could get such awesome shots! I really like the #1 and #4 shots! Great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaasdj Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Hello Kodiak, Absolutely astonishing shots especially the one of the swan on photo one. It really reminds me to the commercials of the Dutch KLM back in the nineties: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxo15o4MSxY&t=59s Thanks for sharing this with us. Regards. BTW I just came across Affinity as an alternative for Photoshop and started in this forum to get some feeling about the community. This already is a very good start :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, #4 is an example of the theme of last week master class I offered and hosted in the area: — don't be afraid to crop your subject, bird or else, if it serves the final purpose of a shot! Keep rocking!

Kodiak Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 This already is a very good start :-) Thanks for your comment! I am not processing my work through Affinity — not that far yet — but use it only for pixel editing in a very limited manner: healing and cloning (brilliant tools!) out elements in the photographs that do not contribute positively to the visual quality of a given scene.

David Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 That first swan is fantastic, their all great but the swan is exceptional Quote DART | Twitter | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeros4 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Yes the swan is exceptional. You are a swimmer beyond the shallows, you explore where others dare not go (look at me, you've turned me all poetic like). Great work throughout this set. You capture the light so well as a result of understanding it more than most of us. Bring us more maestro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C & C how ? Just a reverence....! :o WOW! I know it's been said but nothing else needs to be added. Very impressive both visually and technically. Thanks all of you! My contributions to this "heavily dominated by designers forum" is, most possibly, an intrusion in your sphere of competences and talents. My motivation, however, is based on the knowledge that photography is also part of the visual arts; though I can't hold a pencil, I am better at holding a camera in my paws!. Cheers gentlemen.
