d2b Design Project Update

Well, life has not only been uber-hectic for me, it has also been so for my friend over at d2b Design. Finally it looks like we both may have weathered the storm and are ready to begin. We have a tentative shoot planned for this weekend, and if all goes well, we should both have some shots to post soon. Keep checking as the updates should begin shortly!

Comments: while walking through the gardens, this dragonfly purched on a lone stalk caught my eye. trying not to disturb or spook him, this shot was taken handheld from about 10 feet away. also, the low aperture keeps the dragonfly's body nice and clear, while providing the nice blurred background.

IMAGE INFORMATION:

Photo Title: 'A Heron's Lunch'
Shutter Speed: 1/10
Aperture: f/2.8
Focal Length: 200mm
ISO: 100
Exposure: -0.33
Flash: off
Support: handheld
Alterations: size reduced for web posting, cropped image enlarged to show detail
Comments: White Herons can be pretty skittish, and as such, can be difficult to get good shots of. Saw this one on the way out of the gardens, I drove right past him, and pulled over a couple hundred feet down, and slowly walked back. I was able to get fairly close, without him getting to jumpy, and this was one of the results. Below is an enlarged crop of the above picture, showing more detail and his lunch!
