George joined me for a couple of trips and came away with some really nice images landscapes, images of wading birds and dolphin
we had a very nice morning following a group on dolphin and witnessed them strand feeding several times

Eric, Once again thank you for yesterdays trip, it was very exciting. Please find a few photographs from our 2nd trip from last week, your comments are most welcome. I appreciate very much your energy and passion for both the art and the craft of photography and your willingness to share with others. I look forward to joining you again next year on a few more trips in HHI area. Please keep me informed re workshops etc.--George

These are beautiful photos,
ReplyDeleteGeorge- I really like the lighting and the situation, in the dolphin profile shot with the lit up spray from his exhale; but also the potential for more out of this particular situation. The back light in combination with a dark Pluff Mud background really accentuates the dolphin and his movement.... A picture to strive for might be one where you get the eye and the dorsal fin out of water with the same light, next time you're out :)
ReplyDeleteThe two other dolphin shots are great moments during the feeding frenzy (using exposure compensation- less 1/2 or 3/4 of a stop would have made the white exposure better but these are good usable shots)
It's hard to find fault with any of your other images - lighting, exposure and compositions are all good- keep up the shooting!
Eric - Thank you for your feedback, it is very much appreciated. I will work to incorporate it in the future. Looking forward to further trips with you in the future when visiting the "Lowcountry." George F.
