Sunbathin' on the Redneck Riveria.....

[Steve Boykin]

Friday PM at the lake. I traded some some things (including a pair of Polk speakers I wasn't using, no kidding) for a Voigtlander 40mm in the hopes of making the Nikon smaller. It was only a marginally successful endeavor. The shot of Ruby on the bridge is a test with 40mm at F2. The others are the X Pro + 35mm. I think I just prefer that camera. The metering system seems to work better on it. I'm still learning about cameras but the Nikon seems to require more exposure compensation. I think it's just too good/complicated of a camera for me. I got it on the advice of someone on another forum. That person was a good photographer..I'm not. I am very happy with the Fuji. It's too bad there are so few camera stores these days where you can actually go hold cameras and test them out. I'm not even sure there is one in Austin, TX which is the nearest actual city to where I live.

they look like they could use a tad more contrast to me, but i'm at work using crap monitors so it might be my problem and not yours.

really great poses, and beautiful golden light. love the one on the bridge, brilliant environment and everything just works. love the low perspective and wide angle in the first.

The contrast looks fine to me Beth, but I know what you mean about work monitors. The last one has the least, but then it makes up for it with that wonderful mix of green, yellow and blue

I find something wonderfully bizarre about your photographs of your dogs. It's as if we are slowly seeing a series of portraits of your dogs that are actually more portraits of you.

Lovely set again Steve. And Paul is right, these are more than just shots of your dogs. Your relationship with them and their various characters do show through I think.
