February 2012 - Wolf

How I Did It:

This was taken at the new Brookfield Zoo wolf habitat. I used my Sigma 150 to 500 mm lens at 450 mm and F6.3 to blur the background and ISO 200 – the fastest on my Nikon D90 camera. I cropped and sharpened the image and did a little vignetting to keep the focus on the wolf. As always I tried to focus on the eyes.


Administrator "Food for Thought" as you make your comments:

These come from the PSA Image Analysis course, Creativity & originality, Lighting, Dimension/Perspective, Impact. How does the image make you feel? Noise and /or Grain, Focus, depth of field, Tonal range, Image Balance, Composition, Line, eye movement, Exposure, Do the elements within the frame feel comfortable. Also from the course are these suggestions; Split your comments in two, 1) Describe as many elements as you can that are done well, and why. If you have a comment you should have a reason. 2) Describe as many elements as you can that need help, and why. If you have a comment you should have a reason. If you have a fix for the problem say it here. This is where you help the maker and don't hesitate to send a small image of what you consider to be an improvement of the image.

I am a newbie to serious digital photography.   I took a trip to Israel last year and decided to upgrade from my point and shoot to a “real” camera.  I purchased the Nikon D 40X with the 2 kit lenses and quickly realized the limitations of this setup.  I purchased a Tamron 28 to 300 zoom lens and started to run into limitations of the camera so I sold it and upgraded to a Nikon D90.  I have since added a Tamron 17 to 50 mm F2.8 lens and a Nikon F1.8 50 mm lens.  I started to get involved with HDR imaging.  I am trying to learn everything at the same time – how to take a great image – Photoshop CS4 – Lightroom and Photomatix.  I have joined 2 camera clubs in the area and am having a lot of fun.
