Bloody great quality!.. :notworthy:

any chace of a bit of exif data... educationally.. for us beginners.. be interesting to see.. :D

Regards the flash.. third one down in your reply to hw100 sniper... looks mint!, really works... but im scratching my head.. :hmm: ... i'm all ears.. :D:thumbs:

 

 

There is really nothing especially technical going on here at all . .. the D700 has a built in little flash, that was all i was using, the big dog fox in the fish eye shots, was the tamest and boldest by far. Yet he hated the flash when i first fired he he hid under my car. Took 3 days to "train" him to tolerate it, literally firing it then calling him back and feeding him mince . . . once he'd got used to it he was ok and would tolerate it. The fish eye ones were a bit harder as the lens is only 10mm odd, so it was literally on his nose . . . but again patience and food we got there. I used a pretty high aperture to make the back ground as dark as poss and get the arc of light created by the fish eye. I'll dig out some more tomorrow, i took SO many. I'm still GUTTED i couldn't get them in the day, but i suppose the night time feeling adds to the atmosphere. :thumbs:

Thanks for that.. :thumbs: i take my hat off to you, knowing how to use the camera is only one side of the battle, you've got the full package and those piccys show it.. :thumbs:

Quite superb, and amazing: and yes, that fox looks really fat! Only time I've been so close to a fox was on a farm and it had wandered in one day as a cub with a broken leg. The farm men fed it along with the 23 farm cats :icon_eek: and it stayed, leg healed but always walked with a limp: it literally lived alongside the cats and ate with them. Amazing.
