GoPro Livestock Mount - World's Only Barnyard Camera

 

[Kev Pugh]

Lovely coo shot, kev. I love how they just stand there and stare at you. (They'd be very intimidating street photographers if they could handle a camera.)

Thanks Brian, I think they were probably bemused by the idiot human lay on the ground within stomping distance of them

Its the CooCam, Pete!

The heat is on...............used to be a normal day at the office a few years back...

[Pete Askew]

Now that is good Kev. I like the effect of the heat haze. It's almost like frosted glass (well I suppose in physics it might well be exactly like frosted glass but a lot quicker!!). I reckon them cows have been playing with matches again!!

 

[Kev Pugh]

Thanks Pete, great effect isn't it, I'm wishing I'd cropped the bottom to get rid of that annoying bit of grass

 

[Pete Askew]

I can see what you mean and that would close the image off nicely. I'd probably also be tempted to straighten the image around the uprights of the bard even though they probably aren't really upright anyway. They might make nice additional frames within the image. What do you think?

 

[Kev Pugh]

Agree totally Pete, have done on the Fire, Fire, fire thread other than this repost........Cheers for the comment

What a great piece of framing. Just enough detail in the brick and just enough obscurity in the figure. And I see you managed to capture evidence of the Dodkin surveillance gull snooping around Worcester as well - good work. I knew he was stealing his ideas from somewhere!!

 

[Kev Pugh]

Thanks Pete you know that Dodkingull has an amazingly long range RC. perhaps the Dod has video surveillance and is spying on us in Blighty....

 

[Pete Askew]

I wouldn't at all surprised. He even got one of his alien chums to start seeding clouds 'cos he was jealous of the detail in our skies!!

 

[Kev Pugh]

Yea I noticed the sudden on rush of fluffies in the Cali Sky

My Orchid is budding for a blooming successful show this year....

Now that really works well Kev. I like the selective focus very much and the way you have used the others parts of the flower as a background / foil to the bud. How did you light it? Is it on a white surface?

 

[Kev Pugh]

Thanks Pete, this is purely as shot, with the addition of the frame, using the X10 in Macro mode JPeg ISO Auto400 DR400 f91/@ 2,1:1 aspect, Tripod mounted in natural lighting background is simply my kitchen door. I think this is one type of shot that this little camera excels at..

I wanted the bud to be the main subject, and sampled at f2 but that was too severe DOF..

Thanks for your comments..

 

[Paul Lange]

I think the white background really helps this work. Also you have some dark areas so it doesn't look like a typical high key image.

 

[Kev Pugh]

Thanks Paul, one thing I tried a year of so ago was using white card and black card as a simple backdrop slipped down behind wild and cultivated flowers/plants in the parks, using natural lighting with maybe a reflector or two, a great way of getting some really nice 'styled studio' type shots out side....may do again this year when I get the opportunity....

Actually had an idea once to go out and photog Roadkill, odd you might say but I say I live in the country the country is the animals back garden and 'we' abuse it in more way than living there, at times I wonder why people drive as fast as they do and some even go out to actually hit these poor animals, maybe I will make it a mission.....
