Bush Rummager 4,768 Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Bloody great quality!.. any chace of a bit of exif data... educationally.. for us beginners.. be interesting to see.. Regards the flash.. third one down in your reply to hw100 sniper... looks mint!, really works... but im scratching my head.. ... i'm all ears.. 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. Thanks for that.. 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..

skycat 6,174 Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 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 and it stayed, leg healed but always walked with a limp: it literally lived alongside the cats and ate with them. Amazing.
