Photo 4 (above): Ram's Head Lady's Slipper in Bruce Peninsula National Park. This was the last fresh Ram's Head I shot this year.... they were finished early because of the hot, sunny weather. EOS 5D mark II; 70-200 f/4 lens with 2x teleconvertor & 25mm extension tube; mirror lock-up & cable release; 2 reflectors used (one on each side of flower).
That canoe looks like one that I have......very interesting.
ReplyDeleteNice shots.
What a weather! All I can think about right now is the sun and cloudless weather! These shots are beautiful;)
ReplyDeleteNice shots Ethan. I am interested though, in picture 3, what part of the picture are you holding back with the ND grad?
ReplyDeleteNice pics. But the canoe really interests me...is that a Wenonah? Royalex? 16'? I love that canoe!
ReplyDeleteSteve, I used the edge of a 3-stop soft ND to help hold back the patch of bright sky in the centre top. It's not very noticeable, but it definitely helped give a more balanced exposure through the photo... without it the meter was underexposing the vegetation & forground. Could also achieve the same with exposure blending in post processing, but I always try to get it in the field to spare me time at the computer later!
ReplyDeletecheers,
Ethan
"Anonymous" Andrew... I told you, we go halfs on a motor boat and you can have the canoe back!
