Light in the Box

I like the vertical!! I like the composition on this one better as it more fully fills the space. The lighting is better in the vertical especially on the leaves in the upper corner but is a little strong on the berries. You might want to consider a diffuser or bouncing the flash. Very will done and I look forward to more!!!

I prefer the black plate and agree that an increase in DOF is called for. Personally, I find both of these could use more props to make this more inviting. Try adding some utensils, garnish, glasses or cups. JUST MY OPINION!!!

A Few Birds

Curmudgeon....your sky replacement on the dove photo is excellent!! I would never know you changed it. I saw a photo earlier on Facebook that was so obvious that I knew it before I read the description. It looked very out of place. Very well done!!!!

All 3 photos are very nice!!!

Beautiful, Dodie. Nice soft lighting.

Thank you, John!!! I was actually a little late getting to my neighbors house so the lighting was on it's way to blue hour.

1/15 handheld, better than me. Nice shots.

Thank you khildy!!! The credit goes to the lens and the arm rest of the patio chair. It's nice to see what this camera and lens are capable of.

Those are really nice. I’ve never seen those before. The D810 is a fine camera, too. I can’t imagine doing that handheld at such a slow shutter speed, though. Thanks for sharing your neighbor’s lilies.

Thank you, Wingpilot!!! I do have to credit the 3.5 stops of stabilization provided by the Tamron 90mm lens and the arm rest of the patio chair I was using. This is the first time I've seen this lily and was very happy that they let me photograph it. I've wanted a D810 for a long time and very happy I was able to purchase this one. I am hoping that it and my D750 have many photos ahead of us. Thanks again!!

Beautiful photographs. The 2nd is my favorite. You did good.

Thank you so much, Dennis!!! I really like the angle on the second one but I wish I had moved it in front of the dark bush to make the peach color pop a little more and not have the bright spot behind it. I appreciate you taking the time to look and comment!!!

I appreciate it, Jim!!! It never hurts to take a class and learn something new even when you've been taking photos for many years.
