Reply With QuoteThose look pretty nice Drew. Goats are pretty cool, but that one is looking a bit too seductively into the camera for my tastes.

Some pics of Canada up North. Hope you like goats!

Maybe I should put some Barbara Walters effect over it.
The goats were either retardedly curious or super shy so it was hard to get them in the right range.
Cool pics. Love wildlife photos, and taking them is always fun. Sounds like and awesome trip. I'd love to go up there sometime.
Went on a little photo shoot today. Did a bit of portraiture, something I am not very good at as I have really only doen portraitures of myself. I'm not very good at directing people at what to do. Something I need to work on. I also got some other photos of the more landscape/city shots I am more use to. They were all just for fun and practice, so nothing extraordinary. Most are untouched other than color correction and the usual in raw. WOuld love some feedback on the portraits. I will say that I was sweating my balls off and didn't realize till I was about done with the portraits that I had my camera on the wrong settings. Excuses aside, it doesn't make up for the composition, which I know I could have done a better job on some of them.

I've never attempted portraits of people so I don't really have any feedback. I'm always trying to get candid shots of people--if I aim my camera and someone starts posing, I don't hit the shutter button.
A side note to the train track shots, I had at one point a train coming right at me, but because of the curve in the tracks, it gave me little time to react. I wanted to get a telephoto shot of the train coming down the tracks, but I was caught off guard and the train whistled at me, so I instinctively got out of the way. Would have made for a cool shot, and I regret not staying for a few more second to get it.

I have on suggestion for the model. Put some of her hair over her shoulder instead of behind. I know it sounds counter-intuitive because that's probably how her hair goes, but when you take shots of models (women in particular) hair going in multi-directions has a more "natural" feeling. They do it everywhere (TV, ads, shoots, etc). Where were you shooting, also? The stone seems kind of cool, but the depth of field in the first photo is harder to establish because of the grey on grey stone. The green added a nice pop, though.
It was this place called Hidden Lakes Park kind of out in the country. I'll be the first to admit I was real sloppy with these. It's my moms model, and I was just tagging along helping her scout some places for another photo shoot. It was also hot and humid as balls. I was completely drenched in sweat and just didn't do a very good job with these. If I get another chance, I will work harder, but as of right now, I prefer landscape/cityscape shots and sports and concert ones. I do need to work on my portrait shots though.

Took about 40 photos on Canada Day before I went to a small concert. Only 1 turned out being worth anything:
